This document discusses building smarter cities through increased instrumentation, interconnectivity, and intelligence. It provides examples of how smarter transportation, public safety, energy/utilities, healthcare, education, and government services can lower costs, improve services, and raise quality of life. Collaboration, standards, and open innovation are key to building long-term strategies for smarter cities. IBM solutions can help cities in areas like public safety, transportation, energy/utilities, healthcare, education, and government services.
