The following <br />sections will discuss San Leandro in depth, specifically how it can continue along the path <br />to becoming a leading Smart City. <br />SMART CITY MODEL <br />Certain trends have emerged on which a <br />Smart City model can be developed. One <br />includes the concept of "regionalization" — meaning <br />that tech -enabled services should be <br />designed and deployed with regional connectivity and interoperability between systems <br />and municipalities in mind. For example, traffic congestion affects the entire region, not <br />just a single municipality. And for that matter, a single city may have several municipal <br />organizations operating within it, including <br />the City, water and utility districts, transit <br />agencies, and services provided by a county. <br />All of these agencies may operate disparate <br />systems, yet a service such as one <br />intended to decrease traffic <br />Figure 12, ° mart CityMedel <br />congestion, in order to be fully <br />effective, must work across these <br />R E G I O w A L I z A r 1 o N <br />systems.
