Smart city technology like AI can help energy providers manage smart grids, which are electricity networks equipped with sensors and software. Advanced software and analytics tools can analyze data provided through connected devices to identify patterns in energy consumption and forecast future energy use, helping providers proactively avoid ...
The smart city market is in hyper-growth: $189 billion will be spent worldwide on smart cities initiatives by 2023. Smart cities rely on connections between systems, sensors and devices, but the more things that are connected, the greater the opportunity for cyberattackers to infiltrate.
Transportation determines much of the quality of life for residents in a smart city. In late October, the city’s Land Transit Authority (LTA) expanded a pilot area for autonomous vehicles (AVs) to cover the whole of western Singapore. The city’s leaders have realized that in order to build a resilient workforce and citizenry, mobility must ...
Under the umbrella of the Forum’s G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance the two city networks will connect leading pioneer cities from the Global Alliance with smaller cities in the region. Smart city technology improves sustainability, resiliency and quality of life, but about 50% of the world's urban population live in smaller or medium-sized ...
Virtually every major city has incorporated some smart transportation technologies into their overall offering to citizens and commuters, but now is the time to establish a holistic smart transportation strategy that helps people get to their destination quicker, more safely and with less environmental impact.
Many elements go into making a world-class city, says the IESE Business School, which has produced a ranking of the top smart and sustainable cities for the past nine years. These include structural and systemic measures like urban planning, mobility and transportation, as well as economic ones like attracting and retaining the best talent and ...
The G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance’s model policies and regional networks are helping to accelerate the responsible adoption of smart city technologies to transform cities. In Mexico City, making data sets publicly available has helped NGOs, residents and companies to reduce high-impact crime.
Technologists are even envisioning entire “smart cities” predicated on IoT technologies. IoT enables these smart devices to communicate with each other and with other internet-enabled devices. Like smartphones and gateways, creating a vast network of interconnected devices that can exchange data and perform various tasks autonomously.
To me, a smart city is one that encourages and facilitates its citizens’ participation in physical and digital spaces, and online and offline processes. A smart city eases life, accommodates needs and increases the well-being and welfare of its citizens with the enabling power of technology, through connectivity and IoT.
To design for adaptability, it is important to focus the design on both digital and physical elements of the city’s architecture. Software adaptability can be accomplished with approaches such as cloud computing, AI, ML, digital twins, software-defined networks, smart contracts, and platform business models.
