by Smart cities aim to leverage connectivity and data to enhance urban infrastructure and services and make more efficient use of limited resources. Smart cities incorporate information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure to optimize the allocation and use of urban resources such as energy, water supply networks, transportation and more. This enables city administrators to easily manage urban assets, monitor and optimize the infrastructure and resources, reduce costs and resource consumption, and engage with citizens through smart technologies.
The global Smart Cities Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 638.52 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
