Los Angeles is desperate to become a smart city, with the Olympics and aging infrastructure in the background
The city of Los Angeles, which will host the 2028 Olympics, has begun to make major moves toward becoming a smart city. It is said that the world's best smart city will be born under the public-private cooperation system, including the telecommunications company AT&T. There is a reason why the city is promoting the smart city. We will tell you the reasons for this, the measures that the city has started to implement, and the challenges to becoming a smart city.

Denver, Colorado, in partnership with Panasonic, is often cited as an example of a smart city project in the United States. On a smaller scale, the Bill Gates Foundation plans to build a self-sufficient smart city outside of Phoenix, Arizona. Many cities are aiming to become smart cities, and by 2025, five cities, New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, have declared smart cities. Additionally, Boston, Kansas City, Austin, Portland, and San Jose have smart city plans underway. Looking at the span of the next 20 years, it is said that almost all of the so-called large cities in the United States will move toward becoming smart cities. The background is the aging infrastructure of the city. In Flint, Michigan, in 2015, an incident of lead in tap water caused a big stir. There was also a survey result like this, and it shocked people. For this reason, municipalities across the United States will spend $41 trillion over the next 20 years to develop cities that utilize IoT in addition to infrastructure development. On the electricity side, investment in smart grids already reached $26.7 billion at the end of 2017. As the number of EVs and self-driving vehicles increases in the future, new urban development will proceed at a rapid pace. "Of course, it's not just the United States." According to Frost & Sullivan, global investment in smart cities will reach $3.3 trillion by 2025. The largest of these is smart governance and smart security, accounting for 36.8% of the total, followed by smart energy at 23.4%, smart infrastructure at 11.4%, and smart transportation (transport services using ICT). solutions/services that add value to and provide more convenient services), smart healthcare, and smart buildings. Farouk Kamoun smart cities, innovative applications - IoT Tunisia 2016from IoT Tunisia What is interesting here is the rapid progress in partnerships between cities and companies to realize the relatively new concept of smart cities. Denver and Panasonic were cited as examples, but San Jose has partnered with Intel and Verizon, and it is important for companies to collaborate with cities as model cases for their own smart city solutions and showcase their technology. . Meanwhile, the partner chosen by the city of Los Angeles is telecommunications giant AT&T. AT&T is leveraging small cells (complementary cell phone base stations) to install digital kiosks (free-standing digital signage with integrated stands) throughout the city and net neutrality (internet service providers are responsible for all data). should be treated equally) to the city, and the goal is to ensure that everyone living in Los Angeles enjoys a safe and convenient life. By enhancing the Wi-Fi network that covers urban areas and by introducing smart transportation using a 5G network, traffic congestion, which is said to be the biggest problem in Los Angeles, will be resolved, disaster prevention, and safety will be improved. Of course, the big plan of a smart city cannot be realized with just one partnership. It is necessary to have a plan that includes many IT companies and local universities. However, in the case of Los Angeles, there is an urgent issue of an increase in the number of visitors due to the hosting of the Olympic Games in 2028. What is important is how to move tourists smoothly from the airport to the city. [Next page] Smart cities are rapidly progressing, but there are unexpected issuesTo the list
