Smart cities are a priority for local governments in the coming years, with the aim of responding more effectively to the needs of modern times through the development of digital infrastructure. This includes improving public services, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing sustainable trade models, and enhancing the quality of life for citizens. As part of this effort, commercial markets and shopping centers will be examined to see how they can be upgraded to meet modern consumer demands and contribute to economic development and urban regeneration. This may involve incorporating digital infrastructure and services to enable efficient omnichannel approaches and benefit retailers. Additionally, smart cities may contribute to the rapid changes in warehousing, picking, and transportation of goods. The quality of the internet is also an important factor in the adoption of digital infrastructure.
