Vision and solutions for a Smarter city

• By smarter, we mean that intelligence is being infused into the systems and processes that make the world work - into things no one would recognize as computers: cars appliances roadways powerworld work into things no one would recognize as computers: cars, appliances, roadways, power grids, clothes, even natural systems such as agriculture and waterways.

• A century ago, less than 20 cities around the world had populations in excess of 1 million people. Today, that number has swelled to 450 and will continue to grow for the foreseeable;A th iti i b th b d l ti th t ki th i l th ld’ t• As the cities grow in both numbers and population, they are taking their place on the world’s center stage, with more economic, political and technological power than ever before.

• Economically, they are becoming the hubs of a globally integrated, services-based society. Politically, they are in the midst of a realignment of power – with greater influence, but also greater responsibility.

• Turning information in knowledge we can reduce costs, cut waste, and improve the efficiency, productivity and quality of everything from companies to cities.

• IBM launched solutions impacting different key area: smarter education, smarter health, smarter traffic smarter government etctraffic, smarter government, etc
