When people think of smart cities, they often think of IoT and apps — and with good reason. The IoT-powered real-time monitoring of assets, infrastructure and the flow of people and goods in cities is crucial to understanding and improving services, while resident- and visitor-focused apps are important to delivering a positive customer experience.
But there’s something else — the thing behind the things. Success in smart cities is built on effective collaboration: sharing IoT and other data between diverse departments and organizations and then working together using that data and meeting citizen requests to provide better services and support for comprehensive public safety.
