FRAMINGHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE–
IDC
Government Insights today unveiled Smart City Framework to define
the key processes needed to create a Smart City and critical factors to
enabling a Smart City, to help Mayors and other city leaders embark on
their Smart City development journey. To date, varying definitions of
what a Smart City is, and the complexity of smart solutions have made it
difficult for city leaders to know where to begin in their smart city
planning. The new report, Business
Strategy: Smart City Strategies ‒ IDC Government Insights’ Smart City
Framework (Document # GI234160, provides a framework for
conceptualizing what a Smart City is in concrete terms, the drivers of
Smart City growth, key technologies and process in Smart City solutions,
and detailed guidance for both city leaders and vendors.
The last few years of technology advances have helped to create the
right environment for smart city solutions – pervasive wireless and
broadband connections, advanced analytics software, intelligent sensors,
a profusion of mobile devices, and the use of social media can be
integrated by vendors to provide solutions for city governments. Smart
cities will become the city of the future and businesses, workers, and
tourists, as well as cultural and sporting event planners, will migrate
to these cities as they will be more livable, efficient, and provide
superior citizen services.
According to IDC Government Insights, a is defined as
a finite unit or entity with its own governing authority that is more
local than the federal or national level and uses a specific set of
technologies to achieve the explicit goal of improving the lives of its
citizens through sustainable development. Smart City solutions are
models for leveraging IT not only to deliver higher quality citizen
services more efficiently, but also to affect behavior change in
government workers, city businesses, and citizens so cities can develop
more sustainably.
A city is a financial, commercial, social, and cultural hub and an
ecosystem of infrastructure and citizen services defined by IDC
Government Insights as «domains» include:
- Public Safety
- Transportation
- Citizen Services
- Education
- Energy
- Water
- Buildings
- Healthcare
Currently, most cities are deploying, or have deployed, a smart solution
in one or two domains. The solutions are still siloed from each other,
mimicking the way most government departments operate. Ultimately, IDC
Government Insights believes that as cities mature in their thinking
about smart solutions and city management, more cities will look to
integrate different domains into one central command or operation center
to provide a comprehensive city view and generate optimal responses
based on integrated data from multiple domains.
Based on the new report, to become a Smart City, a city must have an
explicit Smart City mission statement around sustainable urban
development and specific citizen quality of life issues. Departments
initiating Smart City solutions should also have mission statements with
specific goals regarding a more sustainable and livable urban
environment and improved services. Examples of goals could include using
smart technologies to reduce crime, carbon emissions, benefits fraud, or
traffic congestion. The most successful implementations will engage
citizens and private entities to define strategic direction, city
priorities, and create a technology roadmap.
«City leaders are looking to invest in Smart City solutions to leverage
their existing IT, data, and human resources more effectively, and
provide better services to citizens. Vendors are rapidly reorganizing
around Smart City services offerings, and in this context, IDC
Government Insights has provided a framework document for understanding
Smart City solutions,» said Ruthbea
Yesner Clarke, research director, IDC Government Insights. «IDC
Government Insights believes Smart Cities are the city of the future.
Those cities that fail to start the smart city journey now will be left
behind in terms of attractiveness to investors and residents. »
