Summary

An urbanizing world means cities are gaining greater control over their development, economically and politically. Cities are also being empowered technologically, as the core systems on which they are based become instrumented and interconnected enabling new levels of intelligence. In parallel, cities face a range of challenges and threats to their sustainability - across their business and people systems and core infrastructures such as transport, water, energy and communication - that they need to address holistically. Cities need to put in place smarter systems to seize the opportunities that now exist to build sustainable prosperity.
