The window is getting narrower by the day and , as a result , all organisations are looking into digital means of operating . Why ? Because there ’ s more work to be done than simply planting trees , swapping out energy solutions and changing fuel-powered cars for electric vehicles ( EVs ).

Historically , cities were built to allow access for cars in and around the city and to be operated manually and freely by those who occupied them . But the way the cities operate is changing . To eliminate congestion , cities are doing their best to weed out the internal combustion vehicles ( ICVs ) and replace them with solutions that fulfil the frequent demands of transporting the public .

Fortunately , one of the fastest evolving industries can provide a host of benefits in the face of climate demands and is now forcing others towards more advanced , sustainable solutions . That industry is technology — perhaps one of the most broad in today ’ s society — and it is providing breakthrough innovations that enable further development of low-to-no-carbon systems that nudge the needle towards sustainability .

As a result of this shift , cities are becoming smarter and ever-more-integrated with digital solutions to make certain functions faster and more convenient , while maintaining operational integrity . This is a response that firmly integrates the Internet of Things ( IoT ) into ‘ smart cities ’.
