Data-driven smart cities

Smart communities connect people to technology to achieve better daily outcomes.

Facing the challenges of modern communities – congested roads, city planning, infrastructure, housing, unemployment, education and crime – data-driven technology creates opportunities for improvement.

But how do cities become smart?

Scientific analysis and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology unites data sources to analyse vast amounts of information to show hidden insights.

Location-based technology helps create a local government GIS strategy for smart, safe communities, streamlining urban planning and development.

GIS in planning for smart city infrastructure helps achieve the key characteristics of a smart community:

  • Data-driven decision-making
  • Civic engagement
  • Real-time awareness
  • Citizen-government collaboration
  • Forward-thinking leadership
