How Your City Can Use Data for Better Public Services
Smart Cities are Connected by Data
Data is the backbone of a "smart city" initiative. Sensors, cameras, and IoT devices collect data on a wide range of topics, including traffic flow, energy consumption, waste levels, and air quality. This data can be used to manage traffic congestion and the efficient use of limited resources.
Most importantly, data can be used to improve public safety by allocating community policing and sanitation resources to areas of the city that are in the greatest need.
For growing cities like West Palm Beach, smart use of data can aid in planning for increased population growth, demographic shifts, housing needs, and infrastructure usage, enabling urban planners to make evidence-based decisions about zoning, public transportation expansion, and the revitalization of older communities. This leads to more livable, sustainable, and equitable cities.
Data collected can improve quality of life.
