Web GIS is one of the most practical technologies smart cities use to make faster, evidence-based decisions. By moving maps, layers, and analytics into a standard web browser, city teams, utilities, and planners share one live view of what is happening on the ground. AGSRT builds Web GIS and geospatial development solutions that turn raw location data into interactive dashboards, operational maps…

arXiv:2609.10779v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Digital technologies are deployed in urban built environments with the aim of supporting social dimensions. However, the research offers no unified guidance for such digital technology design. Additionally, evidence shows that week social wellbeing contributes to mental and physical health outcomes which suggests that the technology designed to stre…

Key takeaways: AI shifts cities from monitoring infrastructure conditions to predicting disruptions and improving operational responses before failures escalate. The strongest AI use cases in smart cities combine quality data, clear ownership, workflow integration and … Continue reading "AI for Smart Cities: From Connected Infrastructure to Intelligent Urban Services"

Build a full-stack, production-grade project during a hackathon When our team set out to compete in the Smart Cities and Route Optimization track, we didn't want to build just another static mapping app that plots static points. Municipal waste managment in fast-growing urban centers faces major operational challenges: Inefficient truck that burn unnecessary fuel Zero real-time visibility into bi…

A professor at Binghamton University, State University of New York has won a $584,000 CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to create AI models to improve commute times, traffic safety, and more in urban areas.

Smart cities promise safer roads, more efficient utilities, and infrastructure that adapts to growing populations. Behind most of these improvements sits an invisible network of sensors embedded in bridges, tunnels, pipelines, and buildings. These devices collect real-time data that city planners, engineers, and operators use to make faster, better-informed decisions. This article explores what h…

Cities worldwide face unprecedented challenges as urban populations surge and infrastructure strains to keep pace.

Two out of every three people are likely to be living in cities or other urban centers by 2050, according to the United Nations, meaning about 2.5 billion people could be added to urban areas by the middle of the century. This highlights an urgent need for more sustainable urban planning and public services. The […]

How Smart City Data Management Improves Urban Governance and Services Picture a city where potholes are fixed before you even report them, traffic lights adjust themselves to reduce jams, and waste bins send alerts when they’re full. Sounds futuristic? That’s the power of smart city data management at work. In simple terms, it’s about collecting and using information from sensors, cameras, and di…

How Enterprise Asset Management ( EAM) Can Help in Building Smart Cities Every city is a complex system composed of different components such as buildings, energy, transportation, water and city services (public health, police, education, fire, etc.) A smart city is one which adds intelligent technologies to the city infrastructure,  thus transforming it into intelligent infrastructure which is c…

Few times in history have seen a more dire need to find solutions to a global societal crisis than the present. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically raised a challenge to fast-track discovery and implement innovations to avert further tragic consequences of the disease, says Anthony Kuhn , a lecturer in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Kuhn and industry prof…

Tomorrow’s cities are reshaping almost every industry imaginable, and birthing those we’ve never heard of. Riding an explosion of smart sensors, megacity AI ‘brains,’ high-speed networks, new materials and breakthrough green solutions, cities are quickly becoming versatile organisms, sustaining and responding to the livelihood patterns of millions. Over the next decade, cities will revolutionize …

Feb 28, 2018 exploring the smart city revolution by Scott Matus Although we remain in the early stages, it is clear that a ‘Smart City’ revolution is sweeping the world. Technology driven solutions are being used to rethink and reshape the way that urban areas function. These solutions bring with them the promise of future cities that are more efficient with resources, more equitable for resident…
