Launched in 2014, the Alberta Smart City Alliance is a cross-sector collaboration between community leaders and city builders, forward-thinking governments, corporations, entrepreneurs, and academic innovators. The Alliance is the only organization in Alberta dedicated to the advancement of innovative technological and data-based solutions to many of the complex issues facing provincial municipalities.
Society is becoming increasingly digital, connected, and urbanized. Recognizing this trend, some communities apply innovative "Smart City" solutions to identify and solve basic urban issues.
Smart Cities (or Smart Communities more broadly) are connected places full of wireless devices and networks of sensors, cameras, applications, and data centers supporting every aspect of community life. This technology supports the collection of real-time data, measurement of performance through advanced analytics, and proactive responses to issues.
