A smart city is an urban/rural area that uses digital technology to collect data and operate services. The data can be collected from citizens, devices, buildings, or cameras. Applications include traffic and transportation systems, power plants, utilities, water supply networks, waste disposal, criminal investigations, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services.
IoT networks collect and transmit data from sensors throughout the urban/rural environment.
Advanced analytics and artificial intelligence enable more informed and responsive governance.
Energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy, and intelligent transportation systems.
Reduce resource usage, reduce ecological footprints, and enhance living standards to create more environmentally responsible urban/rural spaces.
Facilitate communication between residents and government, promoting participation in urban planning and decision-making processes.
Integrate public transit, bike-sharing, and autonomous vehicles, aim to reduce congestion and improve accessibility, as well as analyzing mobility behavioral patterns of citizens to improve services and optimize the city infrastructure.
Improve the delivery of essential city/county/state services.
The foundation of a smart city is built on the integration of people, technology, and processes, which connect and interact across sectors such as healthcare, transportation, education, and infrastructure, etc. Smart cities are characterized by the ways in which their local governments monitor, analyze, plan, and govern the city.
In a smart city, the sharing of data extends to businesses, citizens and other third parties who can derive benefit from using that data. The three largest sources of spending associated with smart cities were visual surveillance, public transit, and outdoor lighting.
By leveraging an open access model, eCommunity empowers city leaders to modernize civic operations, reduce costs, and deliver more responsive services to residents. Our smart city infrastructure is designed to help municipalities do more with less—while staying ahead of the technology curve.
That means:
Delivering civic services more efficiently and affordably, freeing up resources for reinvestment into community needs
Building public trust by enabling greater transparency, accountability, and real-time responsiveness
Accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies across departments—from public safety and utilities to transportation and infrastructure
Enhancing digital security and resilience, ensuring critical systems and resident data remain protected in an increasingly connected world
