In 2020, Singapore remained the top investor in smart cities initiatives. Despite the cancellation, Tokyo was the second largest spender in 2020 driven by investments for the Summer Olympics, followed by New York City and London. These four cities spent more than $1 billion in 2020 on smarting-up. During the pandemic, these cities invested in contact tracing wearables and apps, open data platforms, autonomous drones, and crowd analytics to fight the pandemic. Post-pandemic, investment in smart city projects like smart grids, smart traffic management, autonomous vehicles, smart lighting, e-governance services and data-enabled public safety and security will gain traction.
Today they are >30 smart eco-cities with 18 in Europe (H2020) and 5 in North America but the rise of smart cities is coming from the East. >500 Chinese and >100 Asian smart cities are in planning: China Hangzhou-Shanghai-Shenzhen City brains, Japanese Toyota Woven Smart City for employees and their families, Korean Samsung smart-city concept with energy saving sensors and 5G connected-car, Thailand 100 Smart Cities projects, Smart Taipei pandemic fighting champion…are some of the smart cities in development.
