Towns, cities and global territories face common challenges but seek to bring
different answers that take account of their own history and their local identity: there
is no single model of a smart city but they are all innovative and service-oriented
cities. For Sopra Steria, the so-called «Smart» strategies must rely on the local
genetics of the territories, using digital technologies to outline tomorrow’s
city.
The Smart City uses digital technology to improve
citizens’ quality of life and for economically
sustainable development. It reinvents services,
which are enhanced through a more efficient use
of resources and through more economic and
environmentally-friendly practices.
These actions concern the city’s performance in
terms of operating, optimising urban mobility,
developing a digital economy, encouraging citizen
participation and constructing a pleasant and
environmentally-friendly city.
Sopra Steria, along with the cities and operators
that provide the necessary services, is developing
innovative solutions—from consulting to hosting,
to software integration and publishing.
There isn’t only one model of the Smart City for
Sopra Steria, there are many Smart Cities; each
has a different approach that depends on the city,
its history, geography and culture—in other words,
its DNA.
