The field of “smart cities” is one of the fastest-growing and most significant fields in technology and innovation today. More and more cities around the globe are implementing advanced technologies based on artificial intelligence or big data to improve the quality of life, safety, and security of their residents. As a result, the field is experiencing remarkable growth, with estimates suggesting there are currently thousands of active smart city projects worldwide. From major cities like Barcelona, New York, Tel Aviv, and Stockholm, which have technological systems helping manage and improve the lives of millions of residents, to smaller communities implementing smart technologies to address various urban challenges. Consequently, global investments in the field are expected to break records in the coming years, turning it into a market estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars.
Alongside technological success comes economic growth
Investments in the field of smart cities continue to grow rapidly, becoming a global magnet for investors and technology companies recognizing the need and potential of smart technologies to improve quality of life in cities. In light of all this, it is estimated that in the coming decade, the number of new cities worldwide expected to implement smart city systems will increase significantly. The prominent fields leading this area include traffic and public transportation management, renewable energy, and systems for reducing crime and enhancing personal security.
