You have been hired to develop a plan for improving traffic flow, waste management, security, and other municipal services in a large urban area. Describe the approaches, IoT technologies, or networking solutions you might propose to create a smart city that will allow government entities to use the data that is collected to make better, more informed decisions.

Think about the history of science, business practices, knowledge management, Libraries and communication. Compare the recent past with today's practices. How do we communicate today? Where is the information stored today? Have the libraries been replaced? How far can we get to the core of a problem and develop solutions? Remember that we are practicing data mining, process mining, robotic automation, and more! All of these activities are linked and we are sitting right in the center. How is that accomplished? Isn't there one important facilitating component that connects all elements of this humongous system?
