VISUAL KNOWLEDGE
Smart City
«A smart city is a place where traditional
networks and services are made more efficient
with the use of digital solutions for the
benefit of its inhabitants and business.
A smart city goes beyond the use of digital
technologies for better resource use and less
emissions. It means smarter urban transport
networks, upgraded water supply and waste
disposal facilities and more efficient ways to
light and heat buildings. It also means a more
interactive and responsive city administration,
safer public spaces and meeting the needs of
an ageing population.»

«A smart city is a municipality that uses information
and communication technologies (ICT) to increase
operational efficiency, share information with the public
and improve both the quality of government services and
citizen welfare.
While the exact definition varies, the overarching
mission of a smart city is to optimize city functions and
drive economic growth while improving quality of life for
its citizens using smart technology and data analysis.
Value is given to the smart city based on what they
choose to do with the technology, not just how much
technology they may have.»
