NEW YORK, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Intelligent Information and Communications Technology Infrastructure in the Government, Buildings, Transport, and Utility Domains
For the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in rural areas and in the next 20 years the urban population will grow from 3.5 billion to 5.0 billion people. The social, economic, environmental, and engineering challenges of this transformation will shape the 21st century. The lives of the people living in those cities can be improved – and the impact of this growth on the environment reduced – by the use of "smart" technologies that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of urban systems. The smart city can be defined as the integration of technology into a strategic approach to sustainability, citizen well-being, and economic development.
While there are many innovative pilot projects and small-scale developments that are looking at the smart city from a holistic perspective, there are no examples yet of a smart city that supports hundreds of thousands, never mind millions, of people. The smart city offers a coherent vision for bringing together innovative solutions that address the issues facing the modern city, but there are many challenges still to be faced. If the smart city is to truly become a blueprint for urban development, then a number of technical, financial, and political hurdles will need to be met.
This Pike Research report examines smart city developments around the world, along with an assessment of the market opportunity for smart city technologies in the decade ahead. The study analyzes the impact of the smart city on key technology markets including smart utilities, smart transport, smart buildings, and smart government. It forecasts the size and growth of the market for smart city technologies through 2020 and the growth in each of the key smart city industry sectors and the main regional markets. The report also looks at the strategies of key players in the smart city market including IT companies, telecommunications companies, utilities, infrastructure providers, and real estate developers.
