CG Hub Site Dev 2: Smart Stories

Coral Gables Smart City Journey The City of Coral Gables promotes the development of a smart city ecosystem that fosters innovation and economic growth by bringing together through technology People, Businesses, Organizations, Things, and Systems. By leveraging strategic planning and innovation, the City’s digital transformation and smart initiatives benefit citizens with continuous improvement of customer service and quality of life. Our smart city journey is defined by the components of transparency, value creation, digital equity, open data, business intelligence, actionable information, governance, efficiencies, citizen engagement, mobility, accessibility, inclusion, crowdsourcing, and collaboration. It begins with a clear vision of excellence and charts a strategic, practical, systematic, collaborative, and innovative roadmap that embraces the state of the art and leverages the exponential technologies from the 4th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) with a quality-of-life focus (Quality 4.0). Our journey to become a smarter city starts with understanding the needs and priorities of our community. We augment institutional knowledge and public input from traditional methods of participation with modern technology tools to engage our citizens in a co-creative process and listen to their voice. Today, that includes digital surveys and citizen engagement portals, social networks, customer relationship apps, public kiosks, and most recently, artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to public sentiment analytics. We use this insight as input to make our smart city plans and programs more effective, consensual, inclusive, and collaborative, as part of a periodic elicitation cycle to gather business requirements from our constituents and our City’s leadership.

Coral Gables Smart City Journey Innovation and Technology Strategic Plan Innovation and Technology Strategic Plan The City of Coral Gables Information Technology Department (CGIT) works together with the city’s leadership and all city departments and offices as a key strategic partner bringing value, efficiencies, and process improvements across the organization through a significant number of technology solutions, value-driven projects and smart city initiatives that benefit the city and its constituents. We also help City departments achieve accreditation and compliance with federal, state, county, city and industry standards, best practices, rules and regulations for information governance, security, public safety, sustainability, environmental conservation, financial administration, business processes, and other government controls. Technology plays an important role in many of the City’s services and operations during normal and emergency conditions by facilitating communication between employees, constituents, and stakeholders; by fostering collaboration and innovation; expediting tasks, increasing productivity and operational efficiencies; by reducing carbon footprint and assessing and managing risks; and, by enhancing the delivery of citizen services with added value and convenience. Technology and innovation help our City become more sustainable, resilient, and livable. This important role has been particularly evident during the Covid-19 pandemic, when digital technologies and the resourcefulness of our team have been helping our organization and our constituents stay connected, safe, and productive, while helping our community recover.
