Big Data-driven Smart Cities: Computationally Networked Urbanism, Real-Time Decision-Making, and the Cognitive Internet of Things
Evelyn GutschowABSTRACT. I draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on big data-driven smart cities, and to explore this, I inspected, used, and replicated survey data from Bloomberg Intelligence, Frost & Sullivan, KPMG, McKinsey, Phillips, and SmartCitiesWorld, performing analyses and making estimates regarding how smart cities can become cleaner and more sustainable (%), key actions needed to improve smart cities’ living environment (%), smart city addressable market by segment in 2025 (%), and how smart cities can create a new type of digital commons (%). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the proposed conceptual model.
