Smart cities should embrace new technologies and approaches to combat a growing list of challenges, states global tech market advisory firm ABI Research.
They just released a new whitepaper called „5 Ways Smart Cities Are Getting Smarter“. In it, ABI Research identifies five urban strategy shifts that will allow smart cities to become surprisingly smarter:
- digital twins & urban modeling
- resilient cities
- circular cities
- micro-mobility
- smart spaces
Due to the whitepaper, Cities are experiencing somewhat of a revolution as to how they plan to tackle the myriad fundamental challenges that they are facing.
Bolder, more holistic, cross-vertical, and closed-loop approaches are required to optimize and maximize the potential of available resources and services. This can only be done by leveraging a range of very advanced technologies including, urban modeling and digital twins, AI and automation, demand-response software, edge/cloud platforms, and generative design,
said Dominique Bonte, Vice President at ABI Research.
