Smart cities: From a dream to reality
The current health crisis has certainly helped in building momentum for smart cities globally. What seemed a far-away dream has been accelerated enough by the pandemic. But as we emerge from this pandemic, we will need to think carefully about the governance policies and the behavioral changes we all need to bring in so as to ensure a better way of living in smarter cities. The government authorities will also need to rethink the design of city systems to support citizens in areas like public transport, emergency response, recreational facilities and so on. Active collaboration between city planners, tech firms and citizens will be crucial in orchestrating our future cities and hence our lives. We at NXP are enabling cities across the globe to achieve new standards of sustainability, efficiency, mobility, and economic growth by simplifying how products and services are accessed.
Managing the pandemic in cities equipped with IoT devices and a robust technology ecosystem will help in curbing the transmission of cases while technologies like Ultra-wide band (UWB) can help in tracking and monitoring people who are under isolation. In a nutshell, transparency and reliable information can lead to effective eGovernance and successful implementation of cities of the future, encouraging people to put their trust in the technology and the government.
