Drive urban innovation through data-led decision-making.
Cities today face a growing set of challenges: rapid population growth, increasing pressure on resources, environmental concerns, and ever-rising citizen expectations. Fortunately, the digital transition offers powerful tools to help tackle these issues. With technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and broader information technologies, cities can now better understand, manage, and transform their urban environments benefiting both citizens and public services.
By managing their territories intelligently, communities can transition into smart cities where technology and data are tools for collective well-being, environmental responsibility, and civic engagement.
Effective use of data and connected technologies enables cities to better understand their territory, anticipate emerging issues, and provide responsive, citizen-centric services. This transformation must be guided by responsible governance relying on trustworthy, transparent, and purpose-driven systems.
