Smart Communities Thrive when Location is at the Forefront

Smart communities are those that make the lives of their citizens better. Esri is the leader in spatial thinking and pioneers the technology that helps governments of all sizes build smart communities. Smart communities understand that smart is a journey, not a destination, and with GIS technology they can solve for current challenges, rethink “business as usual” mindsets, and reimagine a community based on technological advances that support infrastructure needs, humans in crisis, climate change, and whatever else the future may bring. Smart communities embrace technology systems to:

• Support planning and engineering that adapts to change •Improve operational efficiency

• Capitalise on data-driven performance to realise real-time awareness and response

• Achieve civic inclusion through engagement and attention on social equity
