| Abstract |
With ever more of the world's population living in urban areas, cities face immense challenges ranging from providing basic human needs, to adapting to the impact of climate change, to improving the quality of life for its citizens. Addressing these issues, cities increasingly turn towards technology as the solution. Advancement in information communication technologies allows the collection of data from urban infrastructure systems relating to people's consumption patterns, therefore enabling resource optimization and more informed decision making. The adoption of technology however also brings many challenges. Taking leads from the academic literature on smart and-more recently-cognitive cities as well as the authors' own experience in implementing technology infrastructure, the chapter explores the role of technology in helping to create successful cities, analyses the challenges that technological solutions carry, and provides a roadmap to the adoption of technology. The chapter concludes that technology is simply one part of city systems. To create truly livable cities, city administrators need to develop a vision, engage the community and stakeholders, and undertake their due diligence in adopting technology. |
