PROJECT MANAGEMENT
56 individuals to adopt technology within the city isn ’ t overestimated . A part of ensuring that the city is ready for such innovations , it is equally important to provide accessibility to both the internet and the devices to utilities online capabilities , as well as having the technological skills to utilise the capabilities of a smart city .
Building a smart workforce is another aspect of ensuring that smart city initiatives are adopted . A holistic strategy ensures that all ages have access to technology , education and the opportunities to add value and have a part to play in developing the city .
As industries face increased demands for transparency and accountability , particularly when it comes to the environment , open data has emerged as a cost efficient way to improve transparency , accountability , efficiency and responsiveness . However , to best utilise this technology , it is important to not only have the technological skills for effective use , but also to establish open data policies .
