Smart cities comprise systems, such as smart lighting, building automation, security and access control, emergency management, intelligent grids, renewable power, water treatment and supply, and transportation. These systems are utilized by smart city platforms to help integrate information from these disparate systems into a unified whole and provide a holistic view of the overall performance and state of the city and its various functions. Smart city platforms can be deployed in a private, public, or hybrid cloud via a remote server or on-premises for analytics, remote asset monitoring, performance management, decision support, and presentation components.
At present, there is a rise in the need for sustainable infrastructure on account of the expanding global population and rapid urbanization. This is boosting the adoption of smart cities worldwide, which, in turn, is driving the demand for smart city platforms across the globe. In line with this, governing agencies of different economies are implementing favorable policies and regulations to deploy cloud-based services and facilitate their smart city initiatives. Apart from this, the massive amounts of data generated with the rising adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are offering lucrative opportunities for the applications of smart city platforms. These platforms provide context to convert the data generated into actionable, contextualized information that can be used to reduce energy consumption and operational costs. Furthermore, the new generation of smart city platforms offers real economic benefits and the potential to improve the quality of life of citizens while enhancing the natural environment. This is anticipated to influence the market positively in the next few years.
