Having transformed Istanbul into a 'city brand',
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) has signed a cooperation
agreement for a smart city consultancy project with Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC).
Under the umbrella of the Istanbul Informatics and
Smart City Technologies (ISBAK AS) company, the IMM and Ericsson
will work together to achieve Istanbul's smart city vision and 2024
targets.
In 2016 Istanbul improved its standing in the
World Global Cities index, rising from 29th to 25th place. By
improving the city's services and implementing integrated smart
city management, the IMM and ISBAK AS aim to build on their
momentum and accelerate their efforts to reach the top 5 of the
rankings.
Charlotta Sund, Head of Customer Group Industry
& Society at Ericsson, says: "IMM and ISBAK intend to achieve a
fast, integrated, people-oriented transformation based on
technology and innovation. Ericsson will work on key development
areas in metropolitan Istanbul, as well as a number of identified
targets related to urbanization, population growth and resource
utilization. Assessments conducted together with IMM and ISBAK will
guide our work as we aim to maximize this unique city's
opportunities."
The IMM is guiding the project by reviewing global
best practices; conducting literature searches and current
situation analyses; and holding interviews and workshops with
hundreds of chief information officers, public- and private-sector
entities, universities, citizens, and stakeholders. The data
obtained in these studies reveal the city's current scorecard and
provide a benchmark from which to work toward achieving Istanbul's
smart city vision.
