There are many practical and economic benefits in smart cities and smart technology. The increase in federal funding and strong partnerships between city governments and private sector technology companies will further consolidate the reality of smart cities in the upcoming years. While the definition of a smart city continues to evolve, some things have become more clear: smart cities make the most of information and communication technologies to improve service levels, citizens’ well-being, sustainability and economic development.Ībout two-thirds of the world’s largest cities have already invested in technology and many others are considering its implementation. The technology developed to create the so-called “smart cities” can make cities more effective and efficient in the use of resources, which is necessary given the projected fast growth in urban populations over the next decades.
