Cities

Jakarta, one of the most populous cities in the world, evolved from a port city into a modern day metropolis vibrating with diversity and culture. Those who come to Jakarta can find almost anything and get a taste of every corner of Indonesia. Since the inauguration, Jakarta Smart City strives for the betterment of the capital, whether through technology or public service. With all the rapidly evolving innovations in the world, Jakarta Smart City continues to adapt and realize this vision.

The idea of Smart City 4.0 was initiated to improve the active participation and engagement of city co-creators, such as city stakeholders and residents, in building a better Jakarta. In ensuring the city's and its residents' growth, the Provincial Government of Jakarta has taken a different approach, turning Jakarta into a more collaborative location for its citizens, be it for the academics, communities, social organizations, startups, media, businesses, etc. Realizing that a fruitful collaboration wouldn’t be sustainable without a supportive ecosystem, Jakarta Smart City came into being. This hive of brilliant young minds aims to be the catalyst for a Smart City 4.0 ecosystem in the capital city.

Smart change is part of Jakarta Smart City’s work plan, building on the Smart Collaboration principle of the Unit to ensure the other three principles (Mobile First, System and Data-Driven Tech, Digital Xperience) can be achieved and sustained.

The Thai government's "Thailand 4.0" initiative aims to keep the country in step with the global digital revolution and compete on the world stage. Part of this innovative initiative involves turning the capital, Bangkok, into a "Smart City". To meet these requirements, and implement BMA's 20-year strategic plan for the city, the administration needed a new network infrastructure backbone. In addition, the solution needed to support the roll-out of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and any other technology to improve Bangkok’s citizen services over the next years.
