Smart Cities from Emerging Technology – How many is your community considering?

In 2022, creating a smart city has as much to do with protecting residents from unnecessary tech investments as it does with embracing useful technological solutions.

That’s because many local officials have shifted how they think about the cities of the future. Building a smart city is no longer just about who can produce the most ambitious technological vision, but instead it’s about something much more logical: How tech can help fulfill the needs of city residents.

And those needs are significant. From making transportation more efficient to improving food security to maintaining a city’s sewers, officials have their work cut out for them. Often, tech can help with this work—but it can also serve as a distraction. It’s up to city officials to parse those distinctions.

For this series, we’ve written 10 stories that explore how cities and companies think tech fits into the vibrant, complex, and human world of urban life.
