SMART CITY STRATEGY <br />Cities are on the cusp of rapid change <br />precipitated by technology — technology <br />that is being integrated into municipal GO <br />operations for a variety of functions and <br />e, <br />applications. A "Smart City" is one that """ <br />OWN <br />"has developed some technological <br />infrastructure that enables it to collect, <br />aggregate, and analyze real-time data <br />and has made a concerted effort to use <br />that data to Improve the lives of Its <br />-rrrm U��la <br />residents."6 Advancing technologies place <br />cities at the center of innovation:�, <br />A, C <br />autonomous vehicles revising the concept 6IRI <br />of traffic and traffic signals; Wi-Fi <br />transforming the way information is used <br />and accessed; shared vehicles allowing a <br />move away from parking costs and land use; integration of renewable energy sources <br />and smart metering technology for water, electric and gas; smart street lighting poles <br />providing a vertical asset for wireless data via 4G/5G and Wi-Fi, applications enabled via <br />wireless data, smart lighting and embedded sensors enabling numerous applications <br />including embedded sensors providing for faster responses for public safety; and <br />integration of systems with customer feedback loops to enhance and improve customer <br />service for residents and visitors. <br />Smart Cities are enabled generally by the "Internet of Things" (IOT), which is being driven <br />by the increased sophistication and reduced costs associated with wireless, Bluetooth <br />and sensor technologies, coupled with the advent of cloud computing, which places <br />storage and computing power in remotely hosted data centers, collectively called "the <br />Cloud." Devices around us are undergoing technological re -imagination to make them <br />"smart." Increasingly simpler and cheaper devices can be deployed by cities to connect <br />municipal assets and functions to generate data — enabling more efficient and effective <br />6 "Trends in Smart City Development: Case Studies and Recommendations", National League of Cities, 2016. <br />http://www.nic.org/sites/default/files/2017-01/Trends%20in%20Smart%20City%20Development.pdf ("NLC Smart <br />City Report") <br />26 1 P a g 6 <br />City of San Leandro, CA <br />Fiber Master Plan <br />
