Cities, transport and infrastructure

Build the cities, transportation networks and public infrastructure of the future

What’s changing

Changing expectations, environmental challenges and limited budgets demand new approaches to infrastructure.

Cities worldwide are embracing data, digital tools and collaborative ecosystems to scale smart-city initiatives. Leaders are prioritizing human-centered design to create communities that cater to their people's needs. Using advancements in digital platforms, mobility solutions and 5G connectivity, cities are reinventing themselves to meet 21st-century demands.

5 ways cities, transport and infrastructure is changing

Cities need modernization

A robust digital core can enable cities and towns to create sustainable and resilient communities for the future. How? By helping them efficiently manage data; streamline processes; enhance decision-making; use emerging technologies; improve resource allocation; and deliver improved services to their residents.

Meet more people’s needs

Cloud-based technologies can help cities introduce creative solutions that meet their residents’ changing requirements — improving mobility and making services and resources more accessible and available to everyone.

Offer more connectivity

Cities need 5G connectivity to enable faster and more reliable communication, support the growing demand for data-intensive applications, enhance IoT capabilities and drive innovation in areas such as smart transportation, healthcare and public safety.

Use AI for smarter cities

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help cities and infrastructure organizations create smarter, more sustainable and resilient urban environments. AI-powered solutions can already improve operations, efficiency, decision-making, predictive maintenance and personalized services.

New skills for workers to learn

New technologies are revolutionizing work processes for city and infrastructure workers. For example, as cities integrate smart technologies into their urban infrastructure, workers must acquire new skills and knowledge to work with these technologies.

Human-centered solutions improve people’s lives

Cities and infrastructure organizations can create more livable environments for their people by being more human-centered. When residents’ needs are prioritized, they get better access to services, safe and enjoyable living spaces, and an improved quality of life.
