(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* IMM, ISBAK AS and Ericsson will work together to achieve Istanbul's smart
city vision and 2024 targets
* IMM and ISBAK AS aim to build on their momentum and accelerate their efforts
to reach the top 5 of the World Global Cities index
* Ericsson will work on targets related to urbanization, population growth and

Having transformed Istanbul into a 'city brand', Istanbul Metropolitan
Municipality (IMM) has signed a cooperation agreement for a smart city
consultancy project with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC).
Under the umbrella of the Istanbul Informatics and Smart City Technologies
(ISBAK AS) company, the IMM and Ericsson will work together to achieve
Istanbul's smart city vision and 2024 targets.
In 2016 Istanbul improved its standing in the World Global Cities index, rising
from 29th to 25th place. By improving the city's services and implementing
integrated smart city management, the IMM and ISBAK AS aim to build on their
momentum and accelerate their efforts to reach the top 5 of the rankings.
Charlotta Sund, Head of Customer Group Industry & Society at Ericsson, says:
"IMM and ISBAK intend to achieve a fast, integrated, people-oriented
transformation based on technology and innovation. Ericsson will work on key
development areas in metropolitan Istanbul, as well as a number of identified
targets related to urbanization, population growth and resource utilization.
Assessments conducted together with IMM and ISBAK will guide our work as we aim
to maximize this unique city's opportunities."
The IMM is guiding the project by reviewing global best practices; conducting
literature searches and current situation analyses; and holding interviews and
workshops with hundreds of chief information officers, public- and private-
sector entities, universities, citizens, and stakeholders. The data obtained in
these studies reveal the city's current scorecard and provide a benchmark from
which to work toward achieving Istanbul's smart city vision.
