The Smart Cities Council has rolled out a Web-based portal designed to help cities gather and organize the data they require for smart city project planning.
The Smart Cities Project Activator starts with users answering questions about a project addressing the city's specific needs, the challenges it wants to tackle, previous attempts, and partners with which the city is engaged. The questions are designed to help cities structure all the information they need in a single location.
The portal then supports 27 distinct modeling tools to help cities ascertain whether they have sufficient data for a business case analysis or to issue a request for proposals.
Said Smart Cities Council managing director Philip Bane, "We've reached this point where we understand that the market is beyond just talking, beyond just reading, but the cities want to be able to accelerate their progress toward delivering benefits."
