Contarary to popular belief, smart cities are much more than a city that is digitally enabled and teeming with technology. Smart cities are cities that center innovation in all its forms in fulfilling their purpose and promote best practices in urban sustainability.
Carshif Talip, expertise leader, urban planning and land infrastructure at Zutari is of the view that: “A smart city is a city where opportunity, amenity, safety, resilience, inclusivity and prosperity are imperatives, and innovation across financing, design, construction, operations and governance is embraced by all stakeholders to achieve these imperatives.”
