Smart City Project
I like how the Smart City Projects builds in Dubai for the digital world and the blockchain for security so lets see how this all turns out.
Du's Domingo Smart City Project
I am glad that Dubai is growing and the Smart City Project will hopefully work. Dubai will build itself into the digital world.
I am very happy and eager to see how it goes.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
I'm guessing Dubai does have come advantages from the perspective it already has digitized many services. One would think governments that have not yet taken steps to do so would be much further behind.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
dcawrey, I also think Dubai has some political advanatges. The Sheikh is able to accelerate any project he sees as valuable, and things happen pretty quickly when he decides. That isn't always possible in more bureaucratic European or north american cities.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
@Adi Interesting, so there are certain advantages to concentrating power in that way, fewer regulations to slow things down.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
@Ariella, along with concentrating power to limit the bureacracy, I believe it builds the greater power forces to drive forward with the change and overcome the opposition and complacency that often dooms the change efforts.

Check out the Smart Dubai link at the top of the story. The shiek has decreed that this is a "happiness" IoT project.

Smart City Project
I am a little surprised that Dubai didn't implement a smart city project sooner since it spent so much money in other areas.

Hopefully the smart city project will integrate the apps and create a portal to make frequently used services easier to use for residents that can be accessed anytime anywhere 24/7.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
@Adi You've got a very valid point there. I think this is similar to what happens in China, Singapore and other places where if something needs to be done, the political will moves pretty darn fast.
What are some other places like this?

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
@dcawrey, political will, indeed, does develop the supporting culture.
The other distinctive capability I see them as building is a "platform" that helps transend this change by creating an alternative destination capability that will provide infrastructure for this political will and transformative change.
You can't cross a deep gorge in steps - you either leap to the other side, new security, or you fall.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
@DHagar You could say that after political will platform would be an important component.
I do think we're going to hear about the politics of these deployments for some time. But once the friction is removed then it will have to do more about platform issues.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
@dcawrey, I fully agree. The leadership and political will to make this a priority and lead cities in this new direction - which also includes a more open and transparent environment - begins and ends with political leadership. You won't need the platform to deliver this vision if you do not have successful leadership.

IoT-based services willl provide live traffic updates which can help manage traffic and prevent accidents.
Energy conservation and parking will be helpful to residents and business owners. Smart parking apps will help free up spaces and manage parking and energy conservation will help the environment and help residents save money on utility costs.

Re: Du's Domingo Smart City Project
Being able to have some sort of control over traffic and accidents on the road would be awesome! Hopefully this is something we can achieve in the near future.
