What is a Smart City? Here is what you need to know About Smart City

Smart cities are often held up as paragons of efficiency and progress. However, what are smart cities? Find out here.

Plano, TX, United States, 05/29/2021 / Smart City Systems /

Smart cities are often visualized as collections of skyscrapers and hover cars zooming around. They’re also visualized as a cross between minority report and the Jetsons. However, the term ‘smart city’ isn’t really clearly defined. Some say that a smart city’s goal is to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and improve economic inequality. However, others say that the term is too loosely defined and no one knows what smart cities are. 

What is Smart About a City?

What is Smart About a City?

You have to realize that a smart city depends on how citizens can benefit from its services. It also depends on how the government provides them. Hence, the smartness of a city is equivalent to how solutions and services are provided to its citizens through technology. 

For instance, in New York, solar-powered bins monitor the level of trash. This allows trash collection to be monitored more closely. The same is done to distribute and monitor the water that its citizens consume. 

A Smart City is Created by Its Citizens 

Smart cities are also based on the concept of citizens building them. Smart cities actually depend on their citizens’ participation. The tools being used by citizens including tablets, smartphones, smart cars, smart highways, etc. will help build the city. The idea is that the data being provided through these sensors will allow the city to become more efficient. Hence, through a continuous process of iterative improvement, smart cities will be built by their citizens. 

What Will Smart Cities Do?

In short, smart cities will connect people more than ever before. Due to centralized databases and systems, citizens will be connected to benefit each other. People will be provided with information, transportation, healthcare, cellular coverage, entertainment, etc., based on gathered information. Right now, all of that is being done through individual networks and ecosystems. Smart cities will allow all those systems to merge into one.
