Many cities in different countries of the world are still underdeveloped. Despite the many features that came through the Internet and the Internet of Things (IoT), only a few efforts have been made by these areas to improve on their operations. Now that the blockchain technology is here, it would be ideal to use the network to bolster the fortunes of the regions that are yet to develop as expected. The CitiOS blockchain platform has the architectures and frameworks to trigger the needed developments in many underdeveloped cities around the world.

WHY ARE CITIES UNDERDEVELOPED?

When we talk about underdevelopment, it doesn’t necessarily mean the insufficiency of resources alone. Most times, it has to do with the slow pace of the areas to move from the status quo to adopting the latest technologies. In Africa, for instance, there is an insufficient supply of electricity, limited facilities in the healthcare centres, and the worst of it all — the higher chances of natural calamities. Those challenges and many others are part of the reasons why Africa and many other regions in the world are tagged “third world countries.” If that tag must be removed, then concerted efforts must be made to delegate the necessary tools for improving on the areas that are lagging.

INTRODUCING CitiOS

CITIOS is a blockchain-based platform cum visualized smart city that would be manned by many technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, the blockchain technology, and other forms of robotics. The goal of the project is to usher many parts of Africa that are yet to develop into the new millennial of expanding the growth of cities via the blockchain technology.

CitiOS works with many tools, such as the built-in R2R crypto token for establishing point-to-point micropayments.

WHY SHOULD I USE CitiOS?

CITIOS has many features that make it outstanding. The status as a blockchain platform aiming at the enhancement of lives in African countries combines with the sensor networks to bolster the security of lives and properties in the target location.

Highlighted below are some of the features that make CitiOS the perfect blockchain platform for initiating smart city projects:

Autonomous IoT

At the core of the platform’s functionalities is the autonomy of the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. The autonomous IoT in that instance aids in the intermediary-free collection and collation data. Some of the data gathered revolve around many industries, such as the healthcare industry where it is used for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). It also delegates IoT devices to respond to scenarios in real-time, and without the need for human inputs.

Creating Smarter Cities

The influx of people into cities is not unconnected to the long-standing notion that cities are cleaner and create the harmonious atmosphere for innovations. Such has been the case until the last decade when many African countries began to act otherwise to the United Nations (UN)-backed sustainable development programs. The repercussion of that move is that the cities have become congested because of the influx of many people with little or no resources to cater to their needs. There is also the sanitation and electrification challenges.

Now, CitiOS has opted to create smarter cities; a move that would foist it as one of the best smart city projects. It does that by using a robust P2P data exchange that remits the information it gathered to the platform for onward computation and usage.

CONCLUSION

The world is continually revolving around many technologies. It takes the futuristic investors and the government as the case might be to discover the innate potentials that lie with each technique. With the feat recorded by cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology in the areas of getting massive adoptions, it is hoped that something similar and better would be actualized when the CitiOS project kicks off in earnest.
