2 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 cars, appliances appliances, roadways 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 the As th cities iti grow in i b both th numbers b and d population, l ti th they are ttaking ki th their i place l on th the world s ld center t 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 traffic, government, etc
