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
Launched in 2010, on the IBM Corporate & Citizenship line, the Smarter Cities Challenge is a global IBM grant program designed to enable up to 100 cities around the world to utilize the time and expertise of top-performing IBMers to become more vibrant and rewarding places for their citizens to live in. Grant Details: Team of 5-6 IBM Experts 3 week engagement on a focused topic Direct engagement with Mayor and top city officials Strategic roadmap with actionable recommendations The cities leaders (Municipality) had to be prepared to match IBM's investment with their own commitment t of time and resources. Proposals articulating pressing urban concerns that could be addressed by implementing smarter technologies and processes rose to the top of the list. Cities that demonstrated a solid track record of innovative problem solving were also viewed favourably.
