Smart Cities: Technology-Driven Communities
In the United States, about 80 percent of the population lives in cities, while about 50
percent of people worldwide live in urban centers[CITATION Kay20 \l 1033 ]. Because
cities are a major engine of economic growth, their future matters to businesses of all
types. Today, their future looks to be smart.
A smart city installs sensors to collect data that people, and systems use to manage
resources and improve city services[CITATION Mar21 \l 1033 ]. For example, a smart city
might use technology to reduce energy consumption and pollution, ease traffic
congestion, and attract investment. The goal is to provide a higher quality of life for
citizens.
The concept of the smart city came to public attention in the early 2000s.
1
Since then,
cities have rolled out smart initiatives in three distinct generations. Some cities remain in
the first generation, while others have progressed to the other two[ CITATION Bur20 \l
1033 ].
Smart cities 1.0 – Technology companies present systems to city planners and
developers as solutions for urban problems. The solutions connect buildings, roads, and
devices to increase efficiency, especially through savings in transportation and energy

consumption. Toronto converted a declining part of the city into a vibrant neighborhood
using the smart city 1.0 approach when a local technology company introduced electric
shuttle buses to replace private cars and intelligent traffic lights to regulate the flow of
pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. However, these technology-driven innovations omit
citizen participation.
Smart cities 2.0 – In this generation, city planners take the lead to determine how
technology can improve quality of life. For example, the city of Columbus, Ohio, worked
with a power company to create stations for charging electric vehicles. The city’s goal
was to create incentives for people to buy and use electric cars and shared ride systems.
Smart cities 3.0 – Instead of having technology or city administrators set the agenda for
smart development, the third generation features citizens generating innovations. City
managers provide data collected from sensors and other digital sources, and citizens use
the data to spur changes in quality of life, economic competitiveness, and environmental
sustainability.
The third generation of smart cities emphasizes sharing, such as tool-lending libraries for
homeowners, bike-sharing, and car-sharing services, and bartering networks for
exchanging expertise.
One example of a third-generation smart city is Amsterdam in the Netherlands. City
residents worked with software developers to create an app called Mobypark. Owners of
parking spaces can now rent them to citizens and visitors. The city uses data generated
by the app to track parking demand and forecast traffic patterns.

Medellín in Colombia has ambitious smart city 3.0 goals. In a program sponsored by city
government, universities, and social organizations, Medellín uses smart technology to
exchange information with its citizens. Goals include reducing inequities and promoting
cooperation. The city provides Internet and Wi-Fi connections so residents can access
government, health, and educational resources. In turn, citizens suggest improvements
to basic services, react to initiatives, and propose ideas and solutions. Once one of the
most violent cities in the world, Medellín has watched its homicide rate drop 80 percent
since 2007[ CITATION Ort201 \l 1033 ].
For businesses, one of the benefits of smart cities are smart workplaces. Data-gathering
sensors can communicate with smart devices to make offices more comfortable and
conducive to productivity. Smart offices are also more secure and efficient for
employees, vendors, and customers[CITATION Mar21 \p 32 \l 1033 ].
Because smart cities focus on sustainability, businesses in smart cities also participate in
energy conservation efforts. As a result, they reduce costs and incur the favor of
customers, who increasingly consider a company’s record on environmental and social
change in their purchasing decisions.
As centers of innovation, smart cities attract innovators, members of the creative
workforce that can transform organizations and encourage economic growth. Businesses
depend on these talented employees.
Finally, smart cities are important to business because cities are important to the
economy. As urban centers continue to expand, they can suffer from the strains of

cities offer an alternate, more sustainable way to grow and prosper.
