What can you think of when it comes to a smart city?
Indeed, these items and technologies are inseparable in the process of building a smart city, which features complicated networks and connected sensors with multiple types of data collected from people. Perhaps some people are reluctant to share their personal data, thus creating a smart city. But let us imagine how a smart city works for us.
A smart city can optimize the utilization of resources to provide more convenience with citizens because it can see all the materials held by the city on the whole. Based on a smart system, all the resources will be properly allocated in time for everything to be connected with each other and we can know all the conditions in the city. It is a good way for us to reduce the burden of untimely assistance in one place or recourse wastes in another one. In addition to its convenience for citizens living in the city, it can also help the government better see the whole picture of the city and take timely and appropriate measures to handle the problems involved. As such, more sensible decisions can be made and better policies can be adopted with a speed as fast as possible. In the end, it is the people who live in the country that can truly benefit from the system and network.
A smart city can connect all the systems and services and integrate them in a sound manner, so as to enhance the efficacy of utilizing resources, optimize the management and services of the city, and finally improve the quality of people’ lives.
In today's society, the city has become an important system for it to sustain and develop. In the process of economic growth and rapid urbanization, multiple problems have emerged and pose greater challenges to human beings at the current stage and also in the long run. To develop a smart city can better manage and adjust the function of the economic system, the fields related to people's lives, the ecological systems, etc. For example, a smart city can ease the burden of traffic jams for people in their daily lives. The routes of buses or subways can be timely and properly adjusted to enable all the vehicles and people to reach their destinations in a smooth and fast way.
In addition, if you are in Spain, you can see that special sensors are installed on trash bins which can report all the conditions about them. It can help workers better know which bins need to be cleaned and greatly save their time and improve working efficacy.
Besides, we can also see that if WIFI or monitors can be installed in some particular place, the police can receive the message more quickly and respond to the call of residents. It is about life and death.
Whether you are willing to accept the concept of a smart city, it is gradually coming to us and benefiting us in many aspects of our life.
