Abstract
In the last years, a sense of urgency for cities to become more livable and sustainable has arisen due to the expected increase in their population. This chapter describes different initiatives taking place in the city of Chihuahua in Mexico, using the framework developed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), with four dimensions: 1) Infrastructure for connectivity; 2) Sensors; 3) Integrated command and operations center; and 4) Communications technology. For each one of them, a description of the activities or projects is provided, along with a final SWOT (strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats) analysis.
