Overview
Cities are becoming “smarter,” as governments, businesses, and communities increasingly rely on technology to overcome the challenges from rapid urbanization.
CIOs and city leaders invest in smart city initiatives in response to rapid urbanization, environmental concerns, growing energy costs, budgetary pressure and a desire to deliver a higher quality of life for all citizens.
The concept of the smart city is pushing the CIOs in city governments and their technology teams to further evaluate innovative technologies and engage with key stakeholders within and outside of their organizations. To successfully deliver on the smart city vision, CIOs should have a clear understanding of what the smart city is, its key drivers, and their role in it.
