Southampton in the UK, we’re already beginning to see smart cities provide inhabitants with improved
living conditions, easier mobility and cleaner, safer environments, by using cloud computing to power
services. But as with all public sector initiatives, smart city services need to be delivered as cost effectively
as possible to minimise the taxpayer burden. Often, key decision makers are met with obstacles when it
comes to deploying smart services, preventing smart cities initiatives from reaching their full potential – or
worse, blocking them altogether.
Central to the functioning of most ‘normal’ city ecosystems is the underlying data they run on.
Regardless as to whether that data is stored on local servers or using cloud storage, when that data is
fragmented or incomplete, identifying emerging trends for strategic planning and cost reduction becomes
extremely difficult – and because of this, authorities have to adopt an entirely reactive approach.
Conversely, in a smart city environment, connected sensors forming an Internet of Things (IoT) provide
valuable data for analysis and, in turn, insight into the specific city’s behavioural trends. With this level of
information, services can be optimised to reduce costs and risk, increase urban flows and manage assets.
Importantly, they can also provide real-time connections and interactions between the city’s businesses,
local governments, service providers and citizens.
In this way, operations and services are elevated through the integration and connection of physical
devices via IoT networks, ultimately transforming how a city runs.
