Smart Cities
With the rise of urbanization rates, especially across emerging markets, city officials are facing increased challenges that will require a strategic blend of cross-disciplinary approaches and relevant urban tools. To move beyond the buzzwords, smart city will need to be defined by strong municipal strategies, dynamic governance models, resident feedback, and the development of challenge-based innovation and technologies that serve to improve the quality of urban life. Some areas we're particularly passionate about in this space include:
- Municipal management models & smart city prioritization plans
- Challenge-based innovation programs and urban accelerators
- Smart city and urban innovation workshops for municipal civil servants (leveraging business model canvas)
- Leveraging satellite and mapping imagery for sustainable urban infrastructure & land management
- Applying Digital Twin methodologies to the built environment
- Mixed-use and multi-purpose residential and commercial neighborhoods
- Digitization of core municipal services, from education to transportation
