An Informed &TransparentApproach

• Smart City

• What Works City

• Asset Management

Smart City

A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate information and communication technology and Internet of things technology in a secure fashion to manage a city's assets. These assets include local departments' information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, and other community services.

What Works Cities

• “….reflects a set of aspirations and activities that create a strong foundation for the effective use of data and evidence within city governments.
