Resumen

The evolution towards Smart Cities is the process that many urban centers are following in their quest for efficiency, resource optimization and sustainable growth. This step forward in the continuous improvement of cities is closely linked to the quality of life they want to offer their citizens. One of the key issues that can have the greatest impact on the quality of life of all city dwellers is the quality of the air they breathe, which can lead to illnesses caused by pollutants in the air. The application of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, makes it possible to obtain increasingly abundant and accurate data on what is happening in cities, providing more information to take informed action based on scientific data. This article studies the evolution of pollutants in the main cities of Castilla y León, using Generative Additive Models (GAM), which have proven to be the most efficient for making predictions with detailed historical data and which have very strong seasonalities. The results of this study conclude that during the COVID-19 pandemic containment period, there was an overall reduction in the concentration of pollutants.
