CORAL GABLES, RECOGNIZED NATIONWIDE AS A PIONEERING SMART CITY

ELEVATOR PITCH

OUR STORY Technology plays an important role in many of our City’s services and operations by fostering communication and collaboration among employees, residents and business; expediting tasks; increasing productivity; reducing our carbon footprint; assessing and managing risks; improving safety; making government activities and finances more transparent; and making City services better.

Coral Gables was founded on innovation, being one of the very first planned communities in the United States. Today, we’re known nationwide as a Smart City, leveraging information and communication technologies to benefit our residents, employees, businesses and visitors, as well as make our city more resilient and sustainable.

Smart devices, systems and sensors already in place around Coral Gables form an interconnected network that gathers and analyzes data we can act on in real time. Much of this data is freely open to the public via dashboards, an application store, citizen engagement tools and our community intelligence center on Coral Gables’ Smart City Hub on www.coralgables.com. 37
