SMART CITY

SMART CITY

The U.N. estimates that two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. As cities grow, public systems such as utilities, housing and transportation are strained, underscoring the need for data-backed infrastructure to serve more people.

OUR GOALS & OBJECTIVES

  1. Accelerate the ability to design, plan, operationalize, and assure new smart city market opportunities through insights, practices, and tangible assets, enabling a structured and scalable approach to pivoting and commercializing new services.
  2. Empower community leaders and other smart city stakeholders, such as research institutions, entrepreneurs, and advocacy groups, with access to datasets to make informed decisions and build collaborative projects across sectors.
  3. Enable ease of partnering and forge relationships across city organizations, providing validation, co-innovation, and partnering opportunities.
  4. Enhance city performance and improve the wellbeing of citizens.
SMART CITY THEMES
  1. Smart Mobility: Smart mobility leverages technology to enable people and various forms of transport to function in more efficient, resilient, and sustainable ways.
  2. Digital Citizen: Inclusive services provide equal rights to civic participation, citizen engagement, collaborative communities, and access to healthcare and education.
  3. Public Safety & Security: Big data and AI facilitate the deployment of critical city solutions such as surveillance systems, smart streetlights, real-time crime mapping, and predictive policing.
  4. Energy Sustainability: Interconnected, reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly energy options are one of the main goals of smart cities.
  5. eGovernance: Digital services, such as online voting, digital passports, and robust data security tools, encourage citizen participation and lead to the expansion of e-democracy.
  6. Green Urban Planning: Sustainable urban design creates eco-friendly cities that reduce waste and emissions, use sustainable construction materials, and promote electrified mobility.
  7. Advanced Waste Management: Advanced waste management systems utilize IoT sensors to accurately monitor waste disposal, notify residents about their consumption, and encourage responsible behavior through monetary rewards.
  8. Smart Building: Technologies such as digital twins, smart sensors, and cloud computing enable real-time monitoring, energy usage forecasting, security risk detection, and expense optimization.
