Smart home and electronic wallet solutions enhance entertainment and improve quality of life. Not only the residents of the city benefit from this; the governments can meet its objectives cost effectively & quickly by employing various e-governance models which will increases transparency across various functions within government.

ICT can connect and collect source information (be it sensor-based or user inputs) and integrate and process them within an analytical system to monitor and manage various processes within an enterprise system, to being about real-time updates for decision making and planning. There are various Smart Solutions (as depicted below) that use ICT as an enabler. Without ICT, the development of Smart Cities would not be possible.

The backbone for any Smart City is its ICT. ICT enables all stakeholders to collaborate and work together effectively. ICT technologies have the ability to improve performance, capacity and efficiency of physical, social, environmental and institutional (governance) infrastructure.

Revenue generation: One of the greatest challenges for cities is to come up with increased monetisation and revenue generation ideas. This is necessary for the scaling up, maintenance and smooth running of the Smart City edifice. Though there is less clarity and more experimentation now, a few avenues to explore could be - advertising, data analytics, subscriptions, and anonymised data to provide population movement insights and value added apps.

Funding: An overreliance on funding from government and government backed institutions, could lead to some projects losing out to others. This could be circumvented by tapping into other sources of funds and different financial models, such as public-private-partnership, debt markets, equity investments, crowdsourcing, micro lending and real estate.

A Greater emphasis on public transport uptake: In order to ensure a healthy and environmentally sensitive population, regular interaction, encouragement and education of the citizenry on using public transport, bicycling, carpooling etc is necessary on a continuous basis. Drawing lessons from cities such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam would help create more fool proof plans.
