Episode #3: Smart sustainable city architectures: challenges and opportunities

This webinar was part of ITU’s webinar series on Digital transformation for cities and communities.

Episode 3 was jointly organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and oneM2M.

The digital architecture of a smart sustainable city lays the foundation for all IoT-based city applications, services, and networks. Multivendor interoperability is among the most prominent chal​​​lenge for smart sustainable cities to realize the full values of IoTs and other data applications. Global standards play a significant role in facilitating interoperability in IoT systems and enabling communication among multiple platforms.

This webinar provided an overview on the architectural requirements of a smart sustainable city from the service layer to other technical aspects. It highlighted the global standards that are available to boost the development of interoperability and accelerate take up of IoT services and platforms.
