IHS predicts that there will be 88 Smart Cities by 2023. It could be many more. So why are Smart
Cities an imperative innovation? How can locales create the right version for their Smart City? How

In Conclusion

There is no doubt that Smart Cities are incredibly complex and no one knows the right answer because there isn't one. However, my hope is that application of these principles, which are serving clients effectively, should help steer Smart City initiatives towards a successful outcome. Smart Cities are a turning point for humanity to create a new social fabric generating thriving and sustainable economies that tackle local and global challenges head on, the result of which, and my deepest hope, will be thriving and inclusive societies. Be mindful and have fun building your Smart City! Future generations will be thankful. “Smart Cities are purpose driven, serving generations of citizensof today and tomorrow”About the authorMatthew James Bailey is recognized as one the leading pioneers of the Internet of Things (IoT).
