What's it like to live in the world's 'smartest cities' for 2024

The article discusses the Smart Cities Index 2024, which ranks cities globally based on their implementation of smart solutions that enhance quality of life and address societal challenges. With a focus on sustainability in the face of environmental changes, the index, compiled by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), surveys residents from 142 cities on aspects like:

• health
• safety
• mobility
• activities
• opportunities, and
• governance.

Notably, the top 20 cities are predominantly in Europe and Asia, with none from North America or Africa. The BBC interviews residents from five top-ranked cities to understand which smart city features significantly impact their lives.
