SAFE CITY SOLUTIONS

THE CHALLENGE
With over 50% of the worlds’ population residing in cities, one
of the biggest challenges of the 21st Century is the effective
management of safety and security in inner-city environments. As
inner cities become more densely populated, with multi-faceted
environments and numerous stakeholders, they are vulnerable
to criminal activities, cyber-attacks and a significant target for
terrorism.
As the world around us becomes more connected, the freedom
to travel across borders, social media and Internet of Things (IoT)
and technology rapidly evolves, the cities leaders are looking
to harness these technologies to create smarter and more
sustainable cities. While many stakeholders have integrated new
digital technology there are still many using outdated systems and
technologies leading to a lack of interoperability and collaboration
and moreover, a lack of security. In order to ensure security,
sustainability and utilize resources effectively, stakeholders need
to implement a holistic approach.
TECHNOLOGY HAS CREATED NEW CHALLENGES
Municipalities, businesses and the general population have
become more reliant on the internet and on-line transactions
leaving them vulnerable to cyber-attacks, as criminal and terror
organizations become more technology savvy.
The challenge lies in creating a safe city that incorporates
technology with safety, security services and elements, in order
to create a safe city that ensures public safety and urban security
