Driven by the growing prevalence of smart tech such as 5G, AI and IoT, cities around the world will be able to become smarter places to live and work. But how can smart tech get to places hitherto unconnected to prevent a digital divide?
Technological innovation abounds all around us. Think of the cloud. Communications networks. Artificial intelligence (AI). The evolutionary steps that each of these, plus many other facets of IT, have taken, have been totally transformative for those developing them as much as for those using them. It can be argued that the trend of digitisation over the past decade has provided homes, businesses and whole communications with new opportunities.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the concept of smart cities has emerged as a transformative force shaping the future of urban living. From intelligent traffic management systems to sustainable energy solutions, smart cities are revolutionizing the way we interact with our environment and improving the quality of life for residents. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of smart cities, exploring their historical context, current state, and future predictions.
