Cities & Infrastructure: AI Roadmap to 2040
Three horizons. Concrete pilots. KPIs that prove it works.
Now (0–12 months)
- Asset registry across power, water, transit
- Outage and work order dashboards; priorities set
- Citizen service routing with triage
Next (12–36 months)
- Cross-utility coordination for dig/repair
- Traffic signal optimization by corridor
- Water leakage detection and prioritization
2030–2040
- City-scale operations twin with resilience goals
- Integrated planning across utilities
Architecture notes
- Event bus + time-series; geospatial services; identity
- Open data with privacy contracts; audit trails
KPIs
- Time to repair; outage minutes; leak rate
- Transit on-time rate; citizen response time
First pilots
- Traffic signal optimizer on one corridor
- Leak detection on a pressure zone
Risks & guardrails
- Jurisdiction overlap; MOUs; data sharing agreements
- Cyber risk; segmented networks; drills
