Similar Stories to Study Shows Cities Getting Smarter In 2017, But Data Use Gets Dumber on Bing News

In its 2017 predictions, International Data Corp. (IDC) sees smart city activity and open data projects accelerating, though urban leaders will remain poorly equipped to harness the new data potential. The market research firm recently released its report IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Smart Cities 2017 Predictions. Smart cities are expected to begin churning out staggering amounts of data from connected infrastructure and widely proliferating Internet of Things (IoT) technology. However, IDC sees that by 2017 a shocking 75% of global cities will fail to take full advantage of this wealth of smart city data and related digital assets. IDC says the data disconnect is largely due to a talent vacuum, with city personnel lacking critical project management, process and change management skills. On the positive side IDC sees a trend towards increased maturity in smart city digitization efforts.
