The smart cities movement is not just about technology – it’s about creating human-centric environments that improve quality of life for citizens while also promoting sustainability, efficiency and inclusivity.

I’m honoured to be recognised by Thinkers360 for driving smart cities innovation, amongst the Top 50 thought leaders on Smart Cities 2025.

The United Nations estimates that by 2050, 68% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas

The smart cities market is on a growth trajectory:
- It is projected to reach USD 850 billion by 2025.
- By 2030, the market is expected to grow to USD 1.91 trillion, with a CAGR of 17.65%.

But it’s not just about the numbers. It’s about building cities that put people at the center, leveraging AI, IoT, and sustainable practices to create spaces that enhance the daily lives of their inhabitants.

Human-centric smart cities go beyond tech. 
They ensure sustainability, safety, and accessibility for all. 

The future of urban living is about creating spaces where technology empowers the people who use it.

I’m excited to be a part of the journey where we continue to build on these advancements with platforms like Citiesabc - R&D 3D cities, smart cities, digital twins platform, a Web 3.0 AI platform for smart cities and citizens that combines a 360-degree suite of AI and blockchain technologies, digital assets enabled marketplace, and immersive 3D solutions. https://www.citiesabc.com/

Citiesabc indexdna also collaborated with Durham University and University of Surrey, alongwith Big Innovation Centre and World Smart Cities Forum to bring up ‘𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭’, a research publication that proposes a social contract model to engage stakeholders to develop an inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities.

Let’s keep the conversation going and work together to make the world’s cities smarter and more connected for future generations.
