SMART CITIES HIGHLIGHTS
#5: SMART CITIZEN Smart cities magnify the voices of their residents. Apps enable citizens to report local issues in real time, while community networking platforms enable people to collaborate and share resources. Cities are becoming more participatory and transparent as collaborative ecosystems. Technologies can help to close existing societal gaps by promoting inclusivity. Digitalisation in cities has the potential to improve accessibility, accelerate business opportunities, address societal gaps, and support proactive governance. Smart cities can improve the lives of all citizens as long as governments take care not to leave digitally invisible communities behind.
Cities are real-time systems, and a Smart City consists of multiple smart systems. A smart city will have the smart physical, social, institutional, and economic infrastructure in a sustainable environment, with citizens at the center of these systems.
