Green Urban Infrastructure: A Critical Asset to Make Cities More Resilient Against the Impact of Climate Change
Green Urban Infrastructure: A Critical Asset to Make Cities More Resilient Against the Impact of Climate Change
 Insight | 4Q 2022 | IN-6753
Cities are often defined in terms of their gray—aka concrete-based—infrastructure: office buildings; manufacturing facilities; residential areas; road networks; squares and other paved areas; systems for sewage and electricity; water and gas distribution; and a range of microcities, such as airports, ports, sports stadiums, and shopping malls.
Smart Poles to Bring Scale to Smart Urban Infrastructure Deployments
Smart Poles to Bring Scale to Smart Urban Infrastructure Deployments
 Insight | 3Q 2022 | IN-6675
Smart poles are urban technology aggregation points centered around smart streetlighting platforms. They are expected to play a critical role in scaling smart urban infrastructure deployments, from video surveillance and Wi-Fi hotspots to digital signage, environmental monitoring systems, traffic management solutions, and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Smart pole adoption will be mainly driven by the telco ecosystem, with vendors like Nokia and Huawei looking for locations to deploy 5G small cells as part of cellular network densification programs. Other drivers include sustainability targets and government initiatives. The global installed base of smart poles will reach 10.8 million by 2030.
