Cities Can Capture More Value
Category: Strategy

Dr. Philippe Bouvier
By implementing a centralised management platform, cities could create more value for business, citizens and investors. But they’ll have to reinvent their management approach.
Moving from segmented city management to systemic urban management using a city platform will create value through a combination of enhanced city characteristics. These will include more efficient resource management and demand management, business intelligence, better quality of services across departments, and an increased number of city dwellers. In addition, city platforms will help to decrease energy consumption, pollution (GHG, air, noise), response time between departments, and damages in case of incident, crisis or catastrophe.
