3.5 billion people in the world live in cities today and 5 billion people are projected to live in cities by 2030 making it important for cities to invest in technology for Smart Cities. Investing in Smart City technology improves citizens’ quality of life as it allows cities to be more liveable and sustainable.
Smart City visions need to be holistic, pluralistic and citizen-centric, focusing on improving services and solving pressing urban issues. There are three main driving forces to invest in IoT for cities: to be more effective and cost-efficient, to increase revenues through better operation of public infrastructures and to improve sustainability and compliance with environmental legislation.
