Building a smart city
Smart Cities are interconnected, sustainable, low carbon cities striving to be more competitive, livable and attract more investment than traditional counterparts.
“To reduce isolated data and business processes and to encourage better data-sharing and flow, well-managed cities are establishing shared business capabilities, data-rich common infrastructures, and service-oriented architectures.”
