Inspiring Future Cities & Urban Services
The report provides a framework for cities to classify various urban dimensions across levels of maturity ranging from rudimentary (for e.g. a city which is addressing demand supply gaps across various urban services) to scalable (for e.g. a city that can adapt to changing needs), and suggests a ten step action plan for cities planning to navigate the urban transformation journey.
It identifies how innovative business models - such as the sharing and circular economy, digital integration of services, public asset revitalisation, innovative outsourcing will unleash excess capacities in the urban realm and enable cities to do more with less. The report chronicles technology innovations such as the internet of things, mobile based sensing, location & condition sensing, data analytics and open data which will enable cities to battle a myriad of urban challenges.
