Would you be willing to share real-time information and data if it led to improved city services? You already are. Since the Canadian government launched its Smart Cities Challenge in 2017, more than 225 municipalities across the country have integrated some or most smart technologies into their urban planning to elevate the living standards of its residents.

The City of Edmonton describes it as a system where sensors, cameras and analytical software are all connected to a network with the objective of exchanging data to “create improved civic services and enhanced quality of life for citizens.”
