Smart Cities rely on an intersection of people, policy, technology, and operations to deliver value. IoT can be a significant enabler in how decisions are made to allocate resources for developing future infrastructure, services, and processes to meet the needs of citizens. The promised benefits in turn depend on adopting practices that engage citizens and city managers in informed discussions confronting the reality of complex issues and competing interests. In this setting understanding how cities work is the first priority, and is essential in fulfilling the promise of the improvements that cross-domain system integration, and the cycle of sensing, data gathering, analytics, and action can bring to cities in the form of smarter decisions and smarter operations.
