How will the city of the future look like? How will the people live, commute and interact? And how important are digital solutions and innovations for planning, constructing and managing the cities of the future?
In November 2022, the world's population passed the 8 billion mark; just over 20 years ago, it was only 6 billion. By the - conservatively calculated - peak in 2080, there could be almost 11 billion people who our world is supposed to feed, who want to live, work, interact, consume and travel together on it. How can this succeed? What will cities and metropolitan areas need to look like to accommodate this onslaught?

As cities around the world become more crowded and complex, the need for innovative, efficient solutions has never been greater. Smart cities—what once felt like a futuristic pipedream—are emerging as an answer, leveraging advanced technology to optimize infrastructure, services and resources.
For those curious about what makes a city truly smart, look no further than the powerful duo of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). This combination of innovative technology is transforming the way we live and interact with urban surroundings. As the founder of a company working closely with municipalities and organizations around the globe––from Taiwan to Mexico to the Philippines––I've had the opportunity to witness firsthand how powerful these technologies can be when working together.

Governments and local authorities all around the world are turning to technology to help navigate the resource and spatial constraints associated with a global population that’s recently surpassed 8 billion, and with urban development steadily rising, today around 56% of people live and work in sprawling cities.
To successfully and efficiently manage the vast and often complicated infrastructure that’s become so essential to modern life, internet-connected networks and automated devices are becoming increasingly common, but many smart city residents may not fully understand just how vital these tools really are.
Report says it will grow at an annual rate of 28 per cent as climate challenges increase, IoT devices grow and cities become familiar with AI system outcomes.
The market for smart city artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics platforms will reach $6.5bn by 2032, up from $693m today, according to a report.
It represents a compound annual growth rate of more than 28 per cent. There remain barriers to entry though, chiefly municipal procurement practices, privacy and cybersecurity concerns.
