SMART CITY TECHNOLOGIES
Smart cities are powered by cutting-edge technologies that transform urban infrastructure and services . These include Internet of Things ( IoT ) devices that collect and analyse data to optimise resource allocation , improve transportation systems , and enhance public safety . Advanced sensors and monitoring systems provide real-time data on air quality , traffic patterns , and waste management , allowing for data-driven decisionmaking . Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and machine learning algorithms process data to enable predictive analytics and optimise energy consumption , water management , and urban planning . Additionally , smart grids , renewable energy sources , and intelligent transportation systems are some of the key technologies utilised in smart cities to create sustainable , efficient urban environments .
“ Using data to enhance the lives of their citizens , smart cities represent the future of urban existence ,” he explains . “ Yet , for all the promise , cities across the globe are still failing to make the most of data and harness its potential within urban spaces . This will be fundamental to planning and designing smart cities around the world , with urban planners relying on data from both public bodies and private organisations to design and build truly forward-looking smart cities .”
Key to the concept of the smart city is the ability to manage assets and resources . As Eckart Zollner , Head of Group Business Development at Jasco Intelligent Technologies , told Technology Magazine recently , this
