Summary

This report explores the topic of the smart city from the perspective of the development of the Internet of Things in four vertical markets: mobility, the environment, public safety and managing flows (power, water, gas).

It delivers a detailed snapshot of the technologies that could underpin the Internet of Things’ deployment in cities.

The four vertical markets examined are analysed in terms of the value-added brought by digital services, their value chain, stakeholders and business models.
The report also supplies international quantitative data for each four vertical markets.
