[[The Current State of Municipal IoT Deployments]] | |
| The authors of this Blueprint conducted an online survey of municipal government officials in January 2019 with the goal of finding out information regarding the current state of the municipal IoT deployments. (The survey was conducted online and received 37 responses from verified government officials with a breakdown as follows: 73% City/Town; 13.5% Special District; 10.8% County; 2.7% State) | ||

[[The Urbanization Challenge That Cities Face]] | |
| Cities are facing a crisis. If you ask most Mayors what they want for their cities, they will say “jobs, economic growth, a healthy vibrant and safe community that offers an inclusive high quality of life for all of its citizens.” But to accomplish these things, a city must plan and manage its assets efficiently, to include it most precious asset – its people. | ||

[[Transit-Oriented Development]] | |
| Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a planning and development approach that seeks to create compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian-friendly communities centered around high-quality public transportation. TOD is becoming an increasingly popular urban development strategy in many cities around the world as cities grapple with issues of urban sprawl, traffic congestion, and air pollution. The goals of TOD are to create more sustainable, livable, and vibrant communities that offer residents access to a range of amenities and services within a walkable, transit-oriented environment. | ||

[[Trustworthy Smart Cities through Risk Management]] | |
| Organizations participating in the Smart City environment – whether as municipalities, critical infrastructure operators, product or service providers, or citizens – already consider at least some aspects of risk (e.g., business risk, reputational risk) in the development and deployment of Smart City capabilities and solutions. And one growing area of risk is cybersecurity and privacy risk. | ||

[[Understanding Utility IoT and Smart Cities Financing Best Practices]] | |
| The Utility SuperCluster recognizes that while technology is now available; it is often difficult to secure appropriate funding to drive full scale technology adoption. Therefore, how technology is financed plays a major role in the success of IoT based solutions. This framework, while supportive of Utility centric investments, can also be applied in smart cities investments in general. This information provides a baseline for understanding challenges, government based options, and two perspectives on how to step out of the box with creative public and private sector funding opportunities. Contributions are provided by Smart Cities Council and Smart Cities Capital and is intended to provide a board understanding of this topic and framework as best practices. | ||

[[Urban Air Mobility]] | |
| Urban Air Mobility (UAM) refers to the use of aircraft, such as drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, for transportation within urban areas. UAM aims to provide an alternative to traditional ground-based transportation, such as cars and buses, to reduce traffic congestion and improve mobility in cities. | ||

[[Variable-Rate Technology]] | |
| Variable-rate technology (VRT) is a precision farming technique that allows farmers to apply inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides at different rates across a field based on the specific needs of each area. | ||
|
[[What is a Smart City]] | |
| A smart city is a municipality that uses information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life for its citizens by making the city more efficient, livable, and sustainable. This can be achieved through the use of a variety of technologies, such as sensors, IoT devices, and advanced analytics, to monitor and manage the city's assets and resources, including transportation, utilities, and public services. Smart cities also often have a strong focus on sustainability and use technology to reduce their environmental impact, such as by implementing energy-efficient buildings and transportation systems. | ||
