This document discusses digital transformation and public services through smart city initiatives. A flood of digital data from sensors and IT systems has hit cities with varying levels of success in improving services and quality of life. IRIS Smart Cities aims to create open and reusable data platforms to share information, accelerate innovation, provide citizen-centric applications, and lower costs. When delivered appropriately, data can transform how cities provide services and manage areas like energy, water, waste, transportation, and more, saving time, money, and resources for citizens. The initiatives highlighted include urban monitoring networks, energy management applications, open data for city planning collaboration, and integrated mobility services.
