Smart Technologies Help Smart Cities

With 81% of Americans already living in cities and their suburbs – and a projected 100 million more residents expected by 2050 according to UN data – intelligent infrastructure has become a high priority as urban areas look to build and reshape their communities. Urbanization, population growth, climate change and dwindling resources put increasing pressure on infrastructure systems, and operators are looking for intelligent solutions to respond.
