Digital ID
Smart Cities will use Digital ID’s to bind the physical to the digital.
The article below talks about how a city wide digital identity was created in 2022 in a Smart City project in Finland.
“Embedding digital identity in the Jyväskylä Smart City Project”
​
A project inspired by global digital ID organizations such as ID2040 and ID4D.
“Academic researchers pitch benefits of community-created digital IDs”
​
“For digital identity to become a global solution, challenges regarding cross-border interoperability and system computability need to be addressed. This will require a decentralized identity program, rather than one, where all digital elements are stored in a shared national or corporate cloud database.”

Metaverse
“…the true potential of smart cities lies in the convergence of innovative technologies such as the Metaverse of Things (MoT) and Extended Reality (XR). The MoT, characterized by the fusion of digital twins, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and immersive interfaces, forms a virtual bridge between the physical and digital worlds. On the other hand, XR encompasses technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), creating immersive and interactive experiences. In this article, we explore how the integration of MoT and XR is revolutionizing smart cities…”
