What is a SmartCity
The success of a smart city relies on the relationship between the public and private sectors as much of the work to create and maintain a data-driven environment falls outside the local government remit. For example, smart surveillance cameras may need input and technology from several companies.
To achieve the objective of being a smart city a framework of information and communication technologies needs to be created and deployed to address urban challenges and create sustainable infrastructure.
Smart City is a city that uses available technology to provide services and solve city problems.
A smart city uses information and communication technology (ICT) to improve operational efficiency, share information with the public and provide a better quality of government service and citizen welfare.
A smart city focus is improve transportation and accessibility, social services, promote sustainability, and give its citizens a voice.
