Continuing with the theme of Smart Cities…
I have several guest posts pending. In the meantime, I just want to make a resource available for you to help with this post series.
https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Smart_at_Scale_Cities_to_Watch_25_Case_Studies_2020.pdf
From this report by the World Economic Forum, this extract should be helpful:
What problems do smart city applications solve?
Smart city applications are manifold and can address diverse yet similar challenges that cities face around the world. These include congestion, burgeoning populations, gaps in infrastructure, inadequate service delivery, exclusion, poverty, a lack of competitiveness, limited liveability, vulnerability to climate change, and natural and man-made disasters. In some cases, especially in emerging countries, challenges are even greater and affect the very survival of some of these cities.
Cities are increasingly implementing projects with smart solutions in waste management, traffic congestion, citizen safety, affordable housing, water resource management, smart buildings, efficient use of energy, renewable energy resources, facilitating navigation of autonomous vehicles, citizen participation and stakeholder consultation, to name a few. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is helping cities leapfrog certain stages of development by harnessing affordable digital solutions. Among these diverse definitions and solutions, the common goals or themes of efficiency, innovation, inclusion and resilience stand out. According to the G20 2019 Japan report Finding New Solutions through Building Smart Cities, a city that uses data and digital technologies effectively to plan and manage its core functions becomes efficient, innovative, inclusive and resilient. Integrating digital technologies, especially AI, into a city’s systems and services presents new and affordable opportunities for a city to solve its challenges. This in turn will help it achieve the Sustainable Development Goals through efficient use of its resources, effective stakeholder engagement, informed decision-making and better governance.
Stay tuned for much more on this topic!
Thanks.
