City-as-a-Service
The development of smart cities is influenced by the ability to implement innovations and services for the population. Smart services are offered under the City-as-a-Service paradigm.
City-as-a-Service is a service platform on which Infrastructure-as-a-Service( IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service( SaaS) can be used. Via this service platform, cities can offer smart city services that their citizens can use at low cost. Corresponding services can include all municipal aspects from environment, health, traffic, transportation, public charges, planning input and much more.
The idea is for cities to create interesting services with added value for citizens via these and other innovative offerings, while at the same time counter-financing the administrative and operating costs for the city services.
