report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

"Smart Cities in Europe: Regional Status & Key Case Studies", a new
Telecom Insider Report, provides an executive-level overview of the
smart cities market in Europe. It delivers deep qualitative insights
into the smart city market, smart city value chain, and ecosystem
dynamics in the region. It also analyzes key trends and smart city
projects being implemented in Europe.

Smart City initiatives are developing in Europe as its growing urban
population and economy are consolidating the positioning of several
European cities as premium service, trade, and competition hubs. The
forecasted increase in urban population will further support the
development of smart city solutions.

The importance and urgency of issues plaguing citizen services
significantly vary from one city to another in the European region.
Countries in Western Europe are more sensitive to efficient resources
management and addressing environmental issues; a vast number of
projects are aimed at achieving a greener and pollution-free future. In
Central and Eastern Europe, smart city projects are more focused at
closing infrastructure gaps and unlocking the innovative potential of
technologies to spur economic growth.

Smart city projects revolve around four priority areas in Europe:
sustainable urban mobility, sustainable district and built environment,
integrated infrastructure and processes, and enhanced public services.
And standardized smart city frameworks and market environments in Europe
have enabled the launch of pan-European smart city projects.

E-government applications are being rolled out in Europe to enhance
citizen-government interactions with a better quality of service, time
efficiency, and increased transparency. However, the digital divide
remains a challenge primarily in a number of Southern and Eastern
European countries. Many governments in Europe have launched several
initiatives to improve connectivity - e.g., LPWAN and NB-IoT networks.
Further investments by telecom operators will support smart city
connectivity requirements.

Smart city projects are being developed and coordinated by regional and
local authorities, which design projects in collaboration with several
solution providers. In general, telecom operators act in the smart city
value chain as connectivity service providers and a number of them have
been going up the smart city value chain by providing more integrated
solutions.
