As we are on the cusp of rapid shifts in the way cities are managed and operated by technology, it is worth imagining what a future autonomous city would look like – and the associated impact it will have on our everyday lives. Cities will continue to integrate technological dynamism into their day-to-day operations.
And for that, cities need to modernise and digitise their infrastructure – a high price-tag proposition that can certainly be unaffordable for many cities.
There is an urgent need for various innovative financing models that can help cities by unlocking economic value from open savings or increased revenues through assets monetisation to finance the capital required.
The models will help cities jump-start their Smart City projects with minimum upfront capital investment, increase their revenues, reduce their operating costs, and help them deliver next-generation services to their constituents.
