What is a smart city really like?
Smart city enhances connectivity
Technology has long promised to make city life safer, less congested and healthier. The advent of super-fast 5G technology, the explosion of IoT sensors… promotes those promises to gradually come true with 3.5 billion global urban dwellers.
In a future perspective, with the help of smart technology, many urban problems are effectively solved. The vast network of sensors helps cities measure air and water pollution, reduce energy consumption and reduce traffic congestion. Smart lighting is making streets safer while saving on energy costs. AI-powered security cameras are helping police catch criminals… What makes a truly ‘smart’ city as envisioned is the connection between services, where each city provides and performs. in a smarter way to improve people’s quality of life.
Smart City is to connect the services of each city in a smarter way.
The heart of the idea is to solve social and environmental problems through appropriate and effective technology. The whole point of smart cities is to create connections, not build barriers. The value lies in the social connections created and towards the ultimate goal of improving people’s quality of life. However, choosing the right path to become a smart city can be difficult as each city is unique.
London – a typical smart city thanks to IoT
As a modern city, London has had significant urbanization problems. London’s population is growing at the fastest rate in the city’s 2,000-year history, with inner-city population growth predicted to hit 10 million by 2030. This colossal growth will mean increasing demand for health care and energy, and will add 600,000 daily passengers on the already stretched Transport System. On top of that, London is currently breaking World Health Organization limits on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter, which means 10,000 premature lives per year and an annual cost of 3.7 billion pounds (according to Greenpeace).
Against this backdrop, London has pioneered technologies to deal with, and many urban experts believe that leading in this area will have a positive effect on the country’s economy as a whole. In fact, data from SAS shows that the adoption of “smart city” technology has brought £322 billion to the UK economy in 2020.

“In London, smart technology is doing everything from monitoring air conditioners, escalators and trains to proactively keeping them,” said Jen Hawes-Hewitt, member of the Smart City Council London. run to collect anonymous wifi data to better understand how people use the network as they move around the city.”
Indeed, the City of London is built on four key elements of a smart city: using data and emerging technologies, integrating technology across multiple verticals, and innovative service delivery models. and cross-industry cooperation. HPE has relied on these technology bases to provide an infrastructure platform, supporting the British Government to turn London into one of the five typical global smart cities along with Singapore, Dubai, Atlanta and Goyang.
Event Conference “Building the smart city of the future”
With a national vision on digital transformation, Vietnam aims to successfully develop a smart city model in the near future. As one of the technology companies with a lot of experience in supporting the Governments of countries to successfully digitalize, HPE has been making efforts to bring to the Vietnamese market effective and synchronous solutions for technology. “smart city” technology.
The webinar Building the smart city of the future taking place on April 7 is part of HPE’s strategic roadmap to share steps to utilize technology to build a smart city/city. to help improve people’s living and working quality. At the seminar, practical lessons on digital transformation in some countries around the world, and the story of Hue moving to become a smart city will surely bring useful information to the guests.
