Manoj KumarEditorialState of the art technologies are radically changing how people live and work. The internet of things (IoT) is fronting the transformation of cities and workplaces, including the way people manage their lives and interact with machines. Even a street lamp in a smart city has more to it than meets the eye; it has the potential to present city planners with an opportunity to build a framework--a citywide WAN--and optimize city operations such as transportation, safety, and security. The possibilities to advance the way of life are endless.The first step toward smarter cities involves breaking down the silos and leveraging the data from various devices to holistically optimize city operations--from traffic congestion and aging infrastructure to responding to natural calamities. Despite the technological challenges, it is imperative for CIOs and city planners to use context-based data from a city's infrastructure to develop sustainable and innovative citizen services.For instance, smart transportation systems use sensors to detect congestion and bottlenecks, and rely on cameras to enforce speed and traffic infractions. This data is then used by cities to make their transportation networks safer and efficient. Be it energy and wastewater monitoring, self-driving cars, fire detection, drones, or surveillance cameras, a connected ecosystem empowers municipalities with valuable real-time information.Artificial intelligence (AI) is another technology that has a big role to play in the world of smart cities. Especially, when it comes to public safety, intelligent video surveillance solutions can combine with AI and deep learning to keep tabs on social networks to not only react quickly to threats but also predict crimes before they happen.As AI continues to become a larger part of everyone's lives, urban planners are firing on all cylinders to make cities smarter and resilient. At this juncture, CIOReview presents its smart city special edition, featuring insights from industry thought leaders and innovative solution providers.We hope this edition is valuable in helping you devise effective smart city strategies.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comThe City of the Future*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staff
