Mitigating Risks in Smart Cities
Navigating cost and risk with opportunities and benefits to transition communities to be more digitally connected, resilient and sustainable.
What does it take to lead change in local government digital transformations, use fewer resources, create less pollution and waste, be more resilient, and improve the quality of all forms of life?
"Smart Cities – A Roadmap for Development", a 2016 paper [1] defines smart cities as places where electronic forms of citizen engagement occur and where city assets and services are electronically integrated and designed to improve many qualities of life. For Local Government Areas (LGAs), this means
greater visibility and timeliness of activities and impacts for the region;
faster, more effective city, space and building planning cycles; and
more efficient and agile service delivery in local and regional contexts to meet citizen needs.
