He argues that citizens will increasingly choose cities with smart services over those without them, and this fact could have far-reaching consequences for local politicians and administrators.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>\u201cCity officials must work to ensure that technology-led interventions give people the experience and quality of life that they want and need,\u201d says Pierre-Adrien. \u201cBy doing so, cities can prevent their inhabitants leaving for another city and benefit from the willingness of citizens to invest in their home.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-learning-slider section learning-slider\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"learning-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"slider slider-fader\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide active card-learning-slide right-card short-copy\" data-align-right=\"false\" data-long-copy=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-bg-wrapper\">\n\n                                        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                            \n                                            \n                                            \n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"slide-bg d-md-block\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Capgemini_client-stories_Dijon-Smart-City.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-position: 50% 50%;object-fit: cover\" \/>\n                                        \n\n                  \t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-reveal\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container slide-info-wrapper card-learning-slider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-6 col-xxl-6 right-card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-info short-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"title-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/be-en\/news\/client-stories\/dijon-becomes-a-smart-city-supported-by-digital-technology\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title-text\" data-maxlength=\"\">Citizens at the center<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-maxlength=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOnDijon is one response to answering some of these needs: Citizens in the city can connect directly to the control center using a smartphone app to report, for example, traffic accidents and equipment malfunctions.
