Smart Cities A List

The Smart Cities A List from Compass Intelligence ranks companies that provide products and services related to urban design and technology, such as networked systems, intelligent infrastructure, enhanced governance, and an overall capacity to continually improve citizens' experiences.  

“From Smart Homes to Smart Nations, recent technological advancements and ambitious partnerships are marking seemingly far-off futuristic urban innovations a reality, dramatically changing how citizens, companies, and governments interact. These digital communities and cities are looking for an improved user experience—instant access to services, better routing of traffic, improved safety through real-time information, and, more generally, the use of technology to improve daily life and enhance urban sustainability in every sense of the word,” says Jarrod Russell, Senior Analyst. “By 2020, the Global Smart Cities Market will climb to $1.4 trillion, with the industry rapidly evolving to integrate technology into infrastructure, mobility, surveillance and security, lighting and access control, and other community-oriented areas.”
