Megacity Monopoly. Tech Priorities in Global Cities

Global cities today are showcases for the introduction of the most modern technologies. This applies to digital services, mobility, energy, and construction. At the same time, cities are huge infrastructures that cannot implement new large-scale technologies overnight. Therefore, it is essential to plan for developing and implementing long-term solutions. In addition, different cities have different demands for implementing technology depending on their characteristics. Singapore is facing a shortage of drinking water and has become a leader in purification and desalination. Cities in the Middle East are positioning themselves as sites of sustainable energy. For densely populated cities in Asia, the problem of clean air is critical.
