Government smart city initiatives
Globally, governments have been playing a major role in smart cities market through its regulations and initiatives focused on deployment of smart services as a major part of their infrastructure. For instance, General Services Administration’s (GSA) Smart Buildings initiative started in May 2012 aimed to reduce costs and promote smart services modernized federal government buildings in large part through connected technologies is one such major project recorded in the recent years. Similarly, Europe smart cities market size is expected to grow at a significant rate due to its focus on energy and climate objectives. Therefore, the government is focusing on the distribution of energy with efficient models and strategies for progressing toward a low carbon future in this region. Moreover, governments in emerging economies such as China, South Korea, Dubai, India, Singapore, and Japan are aimed for smart development of their economies. The Indian government has dedicated an investment of 107.95 crores in smart cities. Further, China has announced 500 smart cities pilot projects which is again a huge investment by the government in the region. Furthermore, Dubai’s goal to achieve the objective of the Smart Dubai Plan 2021 for transforming their country into a 100% paperless government has been promoting the adoption of smart services in the country and playing a major role in the growth of the smart cities market.
Security concerns associated with smart cities
Smart cities deploy millions of sensors and smart devices in healthcare facilities, public institutions, transport services, and so forth, which tend to share a large amount of personal information on multiple devices, thus privacy and security is a major concern among the users. The significantly adopted advanced surveillance system and IP-based cameras in the system are vulnerable to several risks due to connectivity with the internet which allows the hackers to hack the system easily. Various hacking cases have been identified globally in the recent years where the data is breached and published publicly. In addition, as the resources are being distributed among various cloud clients, the privacy and security of the data is facing major threats from unethical or eavesdropper clients. This data security and privacy concern is the major factor that restrains the growth of the global smart cities market.
Emergence of artificial intelligence in smart cities
Implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in smart city applications such as traffic and parking management, video-surveillance, safe integration of autonomous ride-share vehicles, and so forth can be of great significance. For instance, AI is already being used in CCTV cameras for facial recognition, which can be used to provide further assistance to the citizens. In case of any medical emergencies, these AI-based cameras can help in getting a help from medical professional on the scene. In addition, the facial recognition technology can also help in accessing personal information of a citizen in case of emergency. Similarly, sensors installed at parking lots and traffic signals are now using AI for accumulating useful data to plan the city initiatives among governments efficiently. Increasing number of such AI applications is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market growth.
