CONCLUSIONS…
We’re
done
already?
Nearly 81% of the U.S. population lives in cities, and this
growing urbanization is accelerating the need for Smart
Cities. Municipalities are capitalizing on the convergence
of data and intelligent infrastructure to connect city
systems and citizenry; transform urban centers and
utilities; and mobilize a new city structure based on
sustainability, resiliency and livability.

29. • Infrastructure is intelligent,
connected and aware
• Leveraging data and analytics
essential ingredient to enable
smart utilities and smarter cities
• Paths are converging within and
across sectors
• Wide array of benefits
