AI for Making Smarter Cities

Tiara Jain

Abstract: With the planet grappling with unprecedented climate and environmental challenges, there is another area of concern that can no longer be ignored- that of increasing urbanisation. It is estimated that two out of every three people in the world will live in cities by 2050, putting tremendous pressure on the existing infra structure across the world, more so in developing and underdeveloped economies who do not have the resources to accommodate this surge in demand. Smart cities that use technology to make urban areas more efficient in the use of scarce resources like energy and water and make them more sustainable is widely acknowledged as the only feasible solution going forward. This paper examines how AI can make cities smarter and what are the benefits in making this investment.

Keywords: urbanisation, sustainability, smart cities, AI, climate change, environment, water and energy
