Emerging technologies, including autonomous vehicles, are transforming traditional infrastructure roles

The city of Columbus, Ohio, is well underway with its pilot projects for mobility after receiving a $40-million grant from the U.S. Dept. of Transportation in 2016 as part of a Smart Cities challenge. 

As cities clamor for ways to improve  transportation infrastructure and delivery of services such as power and water, digital models are being touted as a way for planners to try out different scenarios in the virtual world.

The untapped potential in using more data to plan, build and operate water systems could save billions

These visions tend not to lead to successful, brand new technologically integrated cities.

Innovative, technology-driven communities are being designed and constructed for the next generation—and beyond.
