Cities around the world are developing at a fast pace, hugging technology to make urban areas more efficient, durable and connected. This development is now called smart cities. These are not only digital infrastructure cities, but urban ecosystems that use technology and data to increase the quality of life for their inhabitants. One of the largest areas affected by this change is the construction industry, which is experiencing a wave of any opposite innovation before.

Richard Ng, Senior Vice President, Smart Sustainable Utilities & Smart Connectivity, Urban Solutions at ST Engineering, explains how integrated smart city platforms can support cities in becoming more sustainable and efficient at the scale that is right for them.
As urban populations swell and sustainability challenges intensify, cities worldwide are seeking innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and quality of life.
Increasingly central to this transformation are smart city platforms that integrate artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, and internet of things (IoT) technologies. These technologies are enabling cities to optimise utilities consumption, reduce carbon footprint, and improve workflows and enhance city stakeholder experiences.
Urban life is transforming faster than ever. Across the globe, cities are becoming smarter, powered by real-time data, connected infrastructure, and integrated digital platforms that aim to solve long-standing problems like congestion, pollution, energy waste, and inefficient public services. This isn't just about faster internet or more surveillance cameras. The rise of smart cities represents a shift in how urban areas are designed, managed, and experienced by everyday people.
At the heart of the smart city movement is a simple but powerful idea: when systems talk to each other, and when cities learn from data in real time, urban life becomes more efficient, more sustainable, and more livable. Solutions like automated mailroom management platforms are small but essential pieces in this growing ecosystem.

The future is happening right now in cities around the world, where artificial intelligence has moved far beyond science fiction and into the daily operations that keep millions of people moving, safe, and connected. From traffic lights that think for themselves to energy grids that predict tomorrow’s needs, AI has quietly become the invisible brain running some of the world’s most advanced urban centers.
These aren’t just cities with a few smart features tacked on – they’re places where AI systems make thousands of decisions every hour, learning and adapting to create better lives for residents. Here is a list of 17 smart cities where AI is taking over everything from morning commutes to emergency response.
How Smart Cities Are Shaping the Future of Commercial Transportation
The rise of smart cities is changing how we live, work, and travel. These cities use data, technology, and intelligent infrastructure to solve problems and improve daily life. One area where this change is significant is in commercial transportation. The systems that move goods across cities are evolving fast, from delivery trucks to freight trains. In this article, we’ll explore how smart cities transform commercial transportation to make it faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
