A new study from Juniper Research, the foremost experts in the sustainability and the Internet of Things (IoT) market, has selected New York as the leading smart city in North America in 2023.
The top 5 smart cities ranked by Juniper Research are:
1. New York
2. Toronto
3. Montréal
4. Chicago
5. Los Angeles
Juniper Research’s ranking of 50 world cities was based on an evaluation of many different smart city aspects, covering transportation and infrastructure, energy and lighting, city management and technology, and urban connectivity.
The analysis identified New York as a leading city due to its focus on increasing sensor deployments, modernisation of its transit infrastructure and its progress on smart grid deployment. As such, New York was recognised as having a clear vision for its future as a smart city, which is critical for other cities to develop if they wish to emulate its success.
Research co-author Nick Maynard explained: “The Americas are led in smart city terms by cities in North America, with Latin America lacking the comprehensive data infrastructure that is being built in North America. As such, cities in Latin America must build longer-term visions that focus on how to comprehensively harness data to improve urban environments, or they will continue to fall behind.”
