The Future is Resilient
SMART TECHNOLOGY & RESILIENT CITY SOLUTIONS
Modern Cities are elaborate and complex systems with multiple nuances affecting overall growth & evolution. Larger cities have different functioning mechanisms as compared to smaller ecosystems. They are synonymous with multiple revolving sub systems, all of which have to be inter-connected, in a holistic and an integrated framework system in the modern day city.
The complexity and functioning scale coupled with demographic concentration and density of the modern day cities lead to wide exposure and many sorts of vulnerabilities in the face of disruptive forces.
This also exposes the general functioning to bigger risks and governance failures. It is here that technological advancement to safeguard cities, ensuring preparedness for emergencies, long term sustainability and progressive growth becomes very important.
Smart Technologies ensure that the fundamentals of a modern day city keep evolving with technological advancements and according to need of the hour.
This is able to solve both macro & micro safeguarding through resilient city functioning. Some key solutions include adopting IoT, disruptive tech, blockchain to develop stronger electrical grids, predictive maintenance, solving commuter delays and traffic management, ensuring zero blackouts and establishing a central technological network
Resilient - The Future City
DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE CITIES
There is an increasing need to have a central framework for information sharing across multiple agencies across the city. Central command control centers, optimized dashboards & monitor mechanisms will be able to increase coordination in a city.
Application of drones are also increasingly being used for survey, mapping, damage analysis, surveillance, police control and safeguarding the city from external fears.
Artificial intelligence and robotics will also be able to boost greater connectivity, digitization, aiding police and administration systems. This will suffice for increased boost and support in search and rescue systems. Resilient cities also call for full-proof safeguarding from natural and man-made disasters during resilient times.
There is zero productivity of investing in infrastructure, technology, planning or innovation, until we are able to plan ahead of time. The modern city needs to be and safeguarded at all times the through adopting smart technology, preparedness of robust governance strategies and greater resilience during natural calamities in order to fight the ills of climate change.
Smart technologies are able to reduce emissions through smart mobility options. Through construction of intelligent buildings and construction management systems we can now also reduce energy consumption very significantly.
For planners, government and city administration the application of big data, efficient climate models, sub-city zone codes or special zone structures is very critical. This will be able to support increased coordination, tackling vulnerabilities and safeguarding the overall city framework.
