Closing Presentation: Deloitte’s 360ᵒ Smart City Framework: From Vision to Reality Synopsis: To some, the term “smart city” sounds vague, the latest slogan to bolster hope for struggling urban centers. But a 360ᵒ Smart City looks across every aspect of a city’s operations to use technology to improve outcomes. The digital infrastructure of a Smart City allows individual entrepreneurs access to data that can unleash tremendous value. It also sets the stage for a network of partnerships between government, business, non-profits, community groups, universities, and hospitals, all focused on one goal: Creating a smarter city. The result is an urban center that not only leverages technology to improve its own operations, but connects with citizens, business, and non-profits in new ways.
