How Thailand, Melbourne and Singapore are creating the cities of tomorrow
The world’s population is rapidly growing. Much of the growth is happening in our urban centres, and the organic way in which many cities have evolved to date is in many cases no longer a viable option. They need to embrace digital in order to sustain this growth but also above all, they need to be liveable.
To achieve this, governments must have a vision for where the world is headed. That means exploring futuristic solutions that ultimately enhance the economic prosperity, sense of community, and the overall health of their citizens.
Smart cities and nations are one of the steps that governments are taking to implement their vision of the future – but as the focus invariably shifts to the disruptive technologies to enable them, it is imperative that governments retain focus on the human aspect in a world that feels increasingly impersonal: tech driven and virtual.
That’s what we call Intelligent Digital.
The urbanisation of Earth continues apace. According to May 2018 statistics from the United Nations, 68 percent of the world’s population is projected to live in urban centres by 2050, with 90 percent of this growth taking place in Asia and Africa. For governments, these figures point to an increasingly urgent imperative: one that will require technology and strategy to create connected cities that grow sustainably while improving quality of life.
The most successful smart cities keep their citizens’ experience front and centre, while embracing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data to create positive outcomes for inhabitants and more profits for local industries.
