The ATIS Smart Cities Technology Roadmap provides a practical planning guide to upcoming network-enabled technology developments to help Smart Cities decision makers with technology planning, purchasing timing, and staging decisions. Published in May 2017, the report provides the smart approach to smart cities that every city planner needs.
