Using and replicating data from ESI ThoughtLab and McKinsey, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding smart applications that will be relevant for cities through 2025 (%), how smart cities can make local labor markets more efficient (% increase in employment by lever), and main challenges cities are addressing through smart initiatives (%). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
