Arvato Systems Smart City

Cities and regions are confronted with a wide range of challenges - from economic structural change and demographic and social developments to climate change and its consequences and the use of resources. This is why a future-oriented urban development is needed that uses digital innovations in the areas of infrastructure, urban management, organization of civil society, mobility, renewable energy, business and science - the smart city. A smart city can respond to changing conditions today and in the future in a needs-based manner and thus ensure not only the quality of life of its citizens but also the economic strength of the resident companies.

The technological basis of the smart city is an urban data platform on which relevant information from a wide variety of systems and sensors converges, such as consumption and environmental data collected by smart meters, recorded passenger and traffic information, administration-specific data and many others. To ensure that all stakeholders of the smart city - from the administration to citizens and companies to scientific actors - can access the centrally consolidated data at any time and use it as needed for their respective applications, data protection aspects including a robust rights and roles concept have top priority.
