Introduction
A smart city contains a framework of Information and 
Communication Technologies (ICT), specifically 
designed to answer the overwhelming growth of urban 
centers.

Smart City 
Technology
Cities are quickly on the move to embrace smart city 
technology. Autonomous vehicles are already providing 
data that could create environments where traffic lights 
become obsolete. 
Cities can reduce the number of cars as different 
transportation modes work together and communicate 
in real time.

Wi-Fi 
hotspots
Wi-Fi hotspots on a larger scale can transform the way 
users access information. And, as increased use of 
public transportation reduces the number of cars on 
the road, parking needs will decrease and enable cities 
to re-purpose land for housing.

Embedded 
sensors
Energy sources could be better integrated into cities, 
helping to make a cleaner environment for everyone. At 
the same time, embedded sensors to detect gunshots or 
explosions will alert emergency services workers much 
faster. 
These systems will also find water, electric and gas 
issues and assign workers to make repairs as soon as 
they are needed.

Keys to A Smart City

Smart 
energy
Residential and commercial buildings in smart cities 
use less energy, and the energy used is analyzed and 
data collected. Smart grids collect data and redirect 
energy to where it is most needed.

Traffic monitoring is already happening in many large 
cities. But, by making parking smarter, people spend 
less time looking for parking spots. Smart traffic lights 
have cameras that monitor traffic so that it’s reflected 
in the traffic signals.

Smart data
The enormous amounts of data collected in a smart city 
must be analyzed in real time to be useful. Open data 
portals are one option for smart cities.

Smart 
mobility
The technology and the data that travel through it must 
be able to seamlessly move in and out of different 
municipal and private systems. Without this mobility, a 
smart city won’t work.

Sensors are an essential part of a smart city. The 
information collected from sensors can be used to 
dispatch repairmen for immediate maintenance or 
emergency services for a car accident.
