Summary of the article:

• While city planners have several tools at their disposal to improve a city’s liveability, smart technology is one of the most powerful and cost-effective additions to their toolkit.

• A study by McKinsey Global Institute reports that smart technology can improve some quality-of-life indicators by 10-30%.

• Effective end-to-end smart solutions need to perform four key functions, what we call the SMARt framework: Sense environment, Manipulate objects, Analyse data and Report meaningfully.

• Technology has the potential to breathe life into otherwise passive infrastructure, objects and spaces.
