Smart Cities Specialist

A smart cities specialist helps cities and organizations use technology and data to make urban life work better. Projects might include traffic signals that adjust to congestion, sensors that track air quality or water leaks, smart streetlights, electric vehicle charging, or apps that help residents access services. You spend time analyzing data, meeting with city staff, engineers, and community groups, researching vendors, writing proposals, and checking whether a pilot actually improves things. Much of the job is translating between technical teams and people who run public services.
