Dublin, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Strategic Intelligence: Smart Cities" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
By 2050, nearly 70% of the world's population will reside in urban areas, a significant increase from around 50% today. This shift is contributing to heightened infrastructure challenges exacerbated by climate change. To address these, the development of smart cities is accelerating, with projections indicating that the market will reach $417 billion by 2028, up from $204.8 billion in 2023, achieving a CAGR of 15.3%.
Key Highlights
The proliferation of smart cities is evident globally, characterized by a mix of tech-driven, surveillance-focused developments, particularly in China, and newer renewable energy-centered cities in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia's Neom exemplifies a project aimed at reducing reliance on oil while incorporating cutting-edge technologies like AI, digital twins, and 5G for optimal urban operations. The successful integration of these technologies is demonstrated in cities like London, New York, and Paris.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted urban life rhythms, highlighting vulnerabilities in public health infrastructure. As cities strive for greater resilience, they face future challenges from health crises and climate change, including increased natural disaster risks. This drives the adoption of sophisticated weather monitoring systems and resilience strategies. Moreover, cities are advancing healthier living environments through low-emission zones and improved air quality monitoring.
