What Makes Smart Cities Smart

Technology has played -and will continue to play- a significant role in designing solutions to address the problem statements that citizens and the authorities face. But when looking to develop or transform into a smart city, we need to not just address the current challenges the city is facing, but also scale it to its maximum potential.

But they are not all about technology.

While technology plays a vital role, there’s a combination of things that make a city smart.
