Nokia says Australia's political and industry leaders need a greater and more concerted focus on development of smarter cities as a key enabler of the country's innovation agenda and for future economic opportunity. Accordfing to Nokia, while there is an agenda for building smart cities, Australia faces key capability gaps in how it is positioning its cities to "win in the technologically disrupted future". Smarter cities are critical for our future economy and high standard of living. Cities need a standard City Digital Platform and operations enabling data, management, security, analytics, and applications innovation. Smarter cities have continuous innovation at their core, building on automation and linking data assets to enhance the intrinsic value of a city.
