A smart city is a city that uses data and innovation to be better — more sustainable, more liveable, and more economically productive.
In the middle of a digital revolution, we are looking to make the most of emerging technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that we need to be more agile and resilient, and digital technology can help us do this.
This draft Smart Cities Roadmap highlights future smart city opportunities for the City of Glen Eira, include developing a 3D digital city model, enhancing local digital communication networks, and delivering digital skills training.
