What are the Building Blocks of Smart Cities?

• Favorable government Initiatives:

Establishing smart cities requires good regulatory compliance and strong government support. Government bodies are strategically focusing on various initiatives. They are offering quick regulatory approvals, inducing organizational and institutional shifts to streamline operation, and providing favorable funds. All these factors are impacting smart cities positively and creating greater opportunities for new entrants in this sector.

• Modernization and need for advanced Infrastructure:

With a notable shift in global demographics, people are choosing to live in smart cities rather than rural areas. Their shift is the result of the availability of ample chances of getting good financial prospects and opportunities to live a better quality of life. Smart cities support economic development and commercial activities in that region, thereby creating a strong foundation for smart cities. However, aging infrastructure necessitates newer designs and proper planning which can be acquired by smart utilities and technological aspects, resulting in the establishment of smart cities.

• High Emphasis on Eco-friendly Approach:

Integrating smart cities with eco-friendly approaches comprises several sustainable practices and technologies to reduce the impact on the environment and enhance survival in that region. Smart cities implement solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable sources, thereby encouraging the utilization of green energy to bring an eco-friendly approach. Moreover, the waste management approach promotes recycling and converts waste into usable form, making smart cities highly preferable among others.
