Smart cities are a concept where various aspects of a city or a province are based upon advanced technologies. These cities use digital technology and the internet to enhance the performance of services and quality of life by optimizing energy and improving security for the citizens. The smart city concept aims to develop robust connectivity and infrastructure to enable real-time information access for building a management system that efficiently connects citizens, service providers, and administrators. Furthermore, the government ensures that inhabitants actively participate in improving the overall sustainability and productivity of services by furnishing the cities with elemental infrastructure.
Smart infrastructure technology has significantly changed over time, and various disciplines, such as building automation for facility and emergency response management, building energy optimization, parking management, and in-building communication systems, are now being widely adopted. Furthermore, Green building initiatives have taken center stage across many countries, especially across Europe, North America, and APAC regions. Focus on reduction in energy consumption and concerns over the proliferation of environmental wastes are the major driving factors for the development of smart cities. Transportation is expected to be another major focus area during the smart city market forecast period.
