Smart City Trend
The population boom and increasing rate of urbanization have enticed governments to plan the way we're going live. With roughly 70% of humankind expected to live in cities by 2050, cities are slowly morphing to an advanced stage of development, becoming what we call "Smart Cities".
The idea of Smart City began with Ancient Rome as a mean to sustain the dominance of the empire. Roman finest engineers created aqueducts, sewers, water drainage and other smart systems that completely changed the livelihood of civilizations for centuries.
In today's definition, a Smart City is a city that uses advanced and sustainable technologies to provide services and solve problems associated with urban life. That includes investment in more efficient infrastructure, greener buildings, improved mobility, cleaner energy and smarter communication grids. The main goals of a Smart City are to improve policy efficiency, reduce waste and inconvenience, improve social and economic quality, and maximize social inclusion.
Artificial intelligence (AI), Internet-of-Things (IoT) and robotics will be the backbone of Smart cities. They will blend every aspect of the physical and digital worlds to shape the city of the future. And with that in mind, investors are presented with a basket of opportunities to invest in a wave of continuous and lasting change.
