A smart city is one that actively pursues the use of new technologies to improve city services and meet goals in areas such as sustainability, public health, and city planning.
In recent years, as technologies such as advanced communications networks, data collection and analysis, and connected devices have become more common, city governments have gained fresh visibility into how their cities are functioning. They’ve also gained new ways to respond to urgent issues and citizen needs in real time while they also plan for the future.
While the “city” in smart cities refers to city governments, smart city solutions are collaborations that are usually designed and built by innovators from the private sector. In some cases, in addition to adding intelligent technology to their own assets, city governments may seek best practices with which to inform regulations or incentives for the private sector.
While many cities have used isolated smart city functions for many years (in traffic control, for example), a hallmark of today’s smart cities is the unification of the systems and their data to find deeper solutions to problems and achieve a more holistic view of cities and their challenges.
Data is the essential raw material involved in nearly all smart city technologies. In some cases, these systems depend on the collection and analysis of very large amounts of data that is sent to the cloud. In other cases, data must be kept accessible for real-time use, so a variety of storage strategies and hardware are needed.
Smart city systems can be comprised of:
New smart city solutions continue to emerge as technology evolves but can include:

Smart city technologies promise improvements in the following areas:
As digital solutions demonstrate their value, cities are clamoring to add them. However, political, budgetary, and technical challenges remain.
Many public advocates have raised concerns about privacy, surveillance, and the potential for misuse of data. These concerns must be addressed if smart city systems are to gain public trust and win wide acceptance. City budgets are always tight, and cities have layers of bureaucracy and compliance that must be managed if smart city initiatives are to move forward.
Many smart city systems depend on ubiquitous high-speed connectivity, often 5G. However, the 5G rollout is a massive, years-long effort that is only partly completed.
Smart cities are helping their citizens live healthier, happier lives. Data drives the changes that cities seek, such as sustainability, digital equity, and improved public health. Smart cities collect massive amounts of data that must be stored, secured, and easily accessed when needed.
To help manage data for smart cities, Pure Storage® offers several solutions, including:
FlashBlade®: The world’s leading unified fast file and object (UFFO) platform. It’s ideally suited for analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and similar edge data processes. The high density, low power consumption, and easy remote management of FlashBlade makes it ideal for deployments at edge locations.
