Let’s Build a Smarter Planet:
Smarter Cities

2. A planet of smarter cities:In 2007, for the first time in history,
the majority of the world’s population—3.3 billion people—lived
in cities. By 2050, city dwellers are expected to make up 70%
of Earth’s total population, or 6.4 billion people.

3. The city is a microcosm of the major challenges and opportunities
facing the planet today—intensified and accelerated. Here, all
man-made systems come together and interact with one another.

4. Why? Because something meaningful is happening.
The world is
SMALLER.
The world is
FLATTER.
The world is about to get a whole lot
SMARTER.

5. Time to act:Cities—more than states, provinces or even nations—
will increasingly serve as the crucibles where the success or failure
of our planet is determined.

6. We are experiencing the reality of global integration.
The world is connected
ECONOMICALLY.
SOCIALLY.
TECHNICALLY.
A series of shocks:
Climate change Energy Global supply Financial Crisis
geopolitics chains
Plus rapidly evolving and ongoing significant trends:
Changing Empowered consumers Impact of technology

7. The digital and physical infrastructures of the planet are converging…
Computational power is being put into things we wouldn’t recognize
as computers. Indeed, almost anything—any person, any object,
any process or any service, for any organization, large or small—
can become digitally aware and networked.

8. …because intelligence is being infused into the way the world works.
Our world is becoming
INSTRUMENTED.
Our world is becoming
INTERCONNECTED.
Virtually all things, processes and
ways of working are becoming
INTELLIGENT.

9. We now have the ability to measure, sense and monitor
the condition of almost everything.

get better results by predicting and optimizing for future events.

strategy, select high-value projects that can be managed carefully
to produce visible results.
1. Develop
your city’s long-term strategy
5. Discover 2. Prioritize
new opportunities for growth a few high-value projects
and optimization

now exists.
A period of discontinuity is a period of

for those with courage and vision.
There will be
WINNERS,
and there will be losers.
