What good things could happen when the Internet of Everything meets the increasing urbanization?

Smart Cities.

They are resilient, human-centered, and empowered by cutting-edge technologies to sustain our planet while meeting the challenging needs of the growing population.

The United Nations estimates that by 2050, almost two-thirds of the human population will be living in urban environments, exhausting infrastructures, straining natural resources, and further hurting the climate. 

Aware of the challenges ahead, forward-thinking countries around the world are proactively investing in a sustainable future, by creating technology-driven cities to deliver a better, happier, and greener city experience.

In fact, numbers show that by 2020, half of smart city objectives will be about climate change, resilience, and sustainability, according to a Gartner prediction.

Evidently, a smart city is tech-enabled but not tech-focused, and its ecosystem is inherently more human than it appears to be.

At the heart of it all, behind the machines, data, algorithms, sensors, and artificial intelligence technologies, there is human creativity, ingenuity, and collaboration that makes it all possible. 

And because we believe that great ideas can come from anywhere, you too can now be part of the smart city success story, by joining the Smart Cities Global Network.

Through the network, we aim to bring a sense of community to individuals around the world who share a passion for advanced technology, fourth industrial revolution breakthroughs, smart cities transformation and tech-enabled happiness. 

The network attracts and retains active engagement with students and experts, representatives from public and private sectors, academic institutes, and media organizations to create the ultimate platform for the largest international network of smart city stakeholders.
