Public works organizations are making smart communities a reality with the adoption of smart technologies and integration with GIS. From location-enabled devices, to drones, to augmented reality, to machine learning, public works professionals are using location as the standard analytical approach to achieve new insight and improved performance. Increasingly, sensors, the internet of things and cloud computing are feeding data on the locations of people, nature, vehicles, and infrastructure. Public works departments have access to more tools and data than ever before and are leading their communities towards a more prosperous and well-run future. This session will showcase examples of organizations using Esri’s Smart Community Information System to • Support planning and engineering that adapts to change • Improve operational efficiency • Capitalize on data-driven performance to realize real-time awareness and response • Achieve civic inclusion through engagement and an attention on social equity
