Smart Cities and the journey to the “Cloud”

November 1, 2017

“Smart city” is a term with varied implications. But the underlying technology, with its ability to provide a 360° view of every aspect of city operations and improve quality of life, has moved beyond science fiction. Today, it offers hope for struggling urban centers. Imagine a city where interconnected technology works seamlessly to improve public safety, transportation, energy efficiency, economic development and operating expenses. Cities such as Singapore, London and San Francisco, smart technology is already solving problems. With its ability to track everything from cleanliness to traffic, the digital infrastructure of smart cities can create safer, healthier, more informed communities while generating data of tremendous value to the public and private sectors.
