Municipalities are increasingly incorporating smart city strategies into their development plans. But such projects don’t always include adequate cybersecurity safeguards against their complex, high-impact risks.
Improved connectivity and the increase in connected devices are directly impacting the popularization of smart cities. Local governments are promoting projects that integrate new smart technologies to benefit citizen services, both independently and in collaboration with other levels of government or entities.
Highlights
- Smart municipalities harness AI to improve traffic flow, waste collection, and emergency response.
- Digital twins empower smart municipalities to simulate urban planning and sustainability scenarios.
- Smart municipalities prioritize governance to address data privacy, equity, and citizen trust.
The technology that is changing city living. Municipalities in 2025 will be using artificial intelligence to address previously persistent issues: traffic congestion, aging energy grids, emergency response, environmental monitoring, and citizen-oriented services. But this application of AI is not limited to simply sticking sensors in streetlights.
