Cities are reaching a crisis point. City populations are growing.1 Citizen satisfaction with government services is weakening.2
And net zero deadlines are looming. Cities recognize that their traditional approaches to city planning, development, management and renewal will not get them to their goals in time.
They must become smarter, more integrated, data-driven and enabling.
Government can play an important role in helping ensure consistent standards. In Flanders, the Flemish Government has created data standards for more than 190 sectors and domains, which allows for a better flow of data across policy domains. And every public entity is obliged encouraged to use them, which allows cities to compare their data and unlock real insights.
From smart to smarter cities explores how a focus on becoming more integrated, data-driven and enabling can help city decision-makers, infrastructure leaders and private companies accelerate their smart city agendas.
In this report, professionals from KPMG’s global network join with experienced industry and city leaders to unpack these three priorities – integrated, data-driven and enabling – across the lens of the six key challenges facing cities today:
- Urban planning, infrastructure and technology
- Data and privacy
- Transportation and mobility
- Sustainability and social equity
- Governance and oversight
This report is aimed at city decision-makers, policy makers, infrastructure leaders and private companies who share the view that cities must move quickly from smart to smarter to help humanity solve today’s most pressing challenges.
