Urban centers or cities have been functioning as the engines of the global economic growth and opportunity for a very long time. People are migrating towards cities in the search of a safe and clean neighborhood, access to reliable and affordable services, and better mobility. Today, cities are expanding at enormous pace and are under constant pressure to optimize the infrastructure and facilities to accommodate existing and potential residents and enable them to lead a good life. Smart cities offer solutions to resolve urbanization issues and improve the quality of life of society. Smart cities aim to create a technologically evolved city management infrastructure that enables authorities to manage different operations efficiently, while enabling users i.e. residents to make use of technologies to receive variety of day to day services without any hassles.
Recently, many cities across the globe have started to upgrade their infrastructure, using sensors, data analytics, and automatic access control to better manage urban resources such as public transit, wastewater systems, and roads. With use of various technologies regulatory bodies can analyze usage data in real time to optimize energy usage or the number of trash pickups required in a week. Citizens can also utilize these data via the point of contact (PoC) app in their smart phones or other monitoring devices and use it to optimize their daily needs, access real-time traffic information to plan daily commutes; while service providers can use this information to offer better consumer services.
Government initiatives for managing rising urban population supports the smart cities market growth
Managing the ever-increasing urban population is one of the most pressing issues for governments around the world. Today, over 4 billion people or more than 50% of the global population lives in cities. According to UN World urbanization prospects 2018, it is expected that by 2050, nearly 68.4% of total population or 6.68 billion will reside in urban areas. According to the same source, by 2030, there will be 43 megacities in the world with a majority of these across developing regions like Middle East, Asia, & Africa. Cities like New Delhi, Tokyo, Shanghai, Dhaka, Cairo, Beijing, and Mumbai will be the most populous cities of the world, each with a population of more than 25 million.
With a growing urban population, government and private sector organizations across the world are working tirelessly towards developing innovative solutions for systematic and sustainable growth of the cities. City authorities are seeking solutions to elevate the standard of living by providing healthy environment, and ensuring better management of valuable resources like energy, water, and so on. Smart communication technologies like IoT, AI, and big data are increasingly being used for variety of applications in city management to reduce crime rate, facilitate seamless transportation, and healthcare management. These technologies can provide real-time data on the situation and alert the concerned authorities to take necessary measures, as required.
