What Is A Smart City?
The term "smart city" refers to the application of digital technologies, data collection, analytics, and modeling by a city and affiliated organizations. Through the use of IoT devices and the joining and strengthening of existing digital tools, smart city technology leverages data to improve resource management and strengthen contact between citizens and government.
With growing urban populations and increased need for close resource management, smart city initiatives are more vital than ever to making our cities places that can support us in the rapid age of change we live in. We help facilitate projects that we believe will advance smart city infrastructure that improves operations, services, and quality of life, increases efficiencies, and reduces costs for the city and its constituents.
