Delivering a Whole New Level of Smart Communities Through Geospatial Infrastructure

The concept of smart cities is evolving. States, counties, and municipalities are rallying around the promise of smart to reshape our collective thinking of how our communities will run in the future. Join us on Thursday, April 4 from 2-3 p.m. ET/11 a.m.-noon PT to learn the building blocks for an effective smart strategy.

With any government trend, it is sometimes best to take a step back and evaluate whether things are actually working and how adjustments can be put into practice. Esri subject matter experts have spent the last few years studying and documenting the smart movement and the foundational role geographic information systems (GIS) plays in making the lives of citizens better.

Specifically, the discussion will focus on:

Understanding the advent of the Smart Communities Information System.
Delivering an integrated approach through four technology pillars.
Incorporating an initiative-based, community engagement element to your strategy.
Exploring state and local governments who are leading with a GIS-based smart approach.
