Main Reasons to adopt Citizen Engagement
Application

The emergence of citizen engagement application
exists for the purpose of improving the urban
rural quality of life. There are different
aspects that can influence this like safety, time
and convenience, health, environmental quality,
social connections, civic participation, jobs and
the cost of living.

High Surveillance System

Using smart technology in cities can reduce
incidents of assault, robbery, burglary and auto
theft by 30-40. Smart apps like home security
systems, gunshot detection and smart surveillance
can increase and optimize response times for
emergency services and police. Traffic signals
can also be synchronized with smart technology to
provide clear driving paths for emergency
vehicles and in doing so it could reduce response
times by 25-40.
Thanks to smart cities, the methods for fire
detection are more efficient. Sensors can be used
to monitor the condition of parks and wooded
areas that might be prone to forest fires.

Traffic-free Transportation

It has been predicted that by 2026, cities will
be able to cut commuting times by 15-25 by using
smart citizen engagement applications. Apps and
smart transportation systems using sensors
embedded in roads and street lights, can warn
commuters about delays and send navigation alerts
of heavy traffic congestion in real-time so they
can adjust their commuting methods or change up
their driving routes and pick a quicker path to
their destination.

IoT sensors on physical structures can also
predict when they need to be repaired before
breaking down and causing traffic delays. This
then helps to reduce the overall travel time and
prevent the overuse of fuel. Instead of driving
around in circles in the hopes of finding a
parking space, applications can help coordinate
where there is parking available in a city to
save people time and offer more convenience.

Sustainable Living Environment

The use of smart technology in cities is a
helpful way to cut down on emissions, track water
consumption and air quality levels. According to
the latest static, says cities can save between
30-80 liters of water per person each day.
Sensors can detect and monitor leaks, runoff,
wildlife, changes in water pressure and they can
identify major sources of air pollution. Sending
out SMS alerts to residents on reducing their
wastewater production and sharing real-time air
quality levels through smartphone apps can help
people to be more conscious of their habits and
maybe even reward them when they use less energy.

Yes, it is true that smart cities will greatly
influence and change the way we go about our
everyday lives. But in order to keep up with the
major growth in population and a large number of
people migrating to live in cities, this change
is for the better so that everyone can live
comfortably thanks to smart technology.
