Since the beginning of Information Age’s Smart City Month we have delved into a number of topics surrounding the umbrella of smart cities: the benefits, the dangers and what the future smart city will look like.
In the first article of the series – Why do businesses and society need smart cities? To survive…– we established that businesses, government and society in general need smart cities to survive and thrive in an increasingly urbanised future. We concluded that it is in these parties and sectors interest to develop smart cities and smart solutions within them, to help cope with the pressures of a world where two-thirds of the population live in cities.
