A smart city is a
technologically modern urban area that uses different types of electronic
methods, voice activation methods and sensors to collect specific data.
Information gained from that data is used to manage assets, resources and
services efficiently; in return, that data is used to improve operations across
the city.
This includes data collected
from citizens, devices, buildings and assets that is processed and analyzed to
monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, utilities,
water supply networks, waste, crime detection information systems, schools,
libraries, hospitals, and other community services. Smart cities are defined as
smart both in the ways in which their governments harness technology as well as
in how they monitor, analyze, plan, and govern the city.
Driven by the increasing
population, hyper-urbanization and globalization, cities around the world are
evolving into smart ones. Connected technologies and IoT solutions play
important roles in transforming cities as they help to enhance the quality,
performance and interactivity of urban services, optimize resources, and reduce
costs.
