With an estimated population of around 498,000 – and growing fast – Atlanta is home to the busiest airport in the world as well as several top Fortune 500 companies and a thriving start-up scene. It is also one of the most economically divided societies in the United States.

Since Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms took over the city’s leadership in January 2018, she has stressed that closing the inequality gap must be at the heart of all initiatives. Her One Atlanta strategy aims to make Atlanta a more equitable city so that all residents have the same access to opportunity. This means that the Smart Atlanta smart city programme, too, is now focused around these very human-centric goals which perhaps don’t commonly fall within the smart city domain.

 

“We like the challenge of taking things which are not typically deemed technical innovation issues. That makes it exciting and gives us the chance to go out and look for opportunities to show where technology can move the city forward and help us solve these problems.” Tye Hayes, CTO, City of Atlanta.

 

A key focus from here is secure connectivity and more sophisticated use of data, including real-time data.
