Smart Cities: Key Findings, Asia-Pacific, 2015
1 There are about cities that are expected to become smart cities by 2025 in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Eight emerging cities also have standalone smart city projects, which when scaled-up, can achieve the smart city status by 2030 and beyond.
2 Several government agendas in this region are driving the building of smarter cities in Singapore, Japan, China, 2 and South Korea. Communication service providers and network service partners play a key role in forming the technological backbone to roll-out smart cities. Singtel in Singapore and Telstra in Australia have laid out $ million and $ million, respectively, to enable smart city technology platforms and infrastructure.
3 Smart energy management systems and smart grid projects in Japan form test beds for smart communities as these projects have developed solutions that can be integrated on the same platform across old and new
technologies from wireless mesh to smart thermostats.
4 Emerging countries, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, are imbibing the best practices of nursing robotics from Japan, mHealth solutions from Australia, and integrated healthcare services from Singapore in order to
strengthen their smart healthcare portfolios.
