Making smart cities happen through Cisco technology
In response to COVID-19, the city has invested in key technology from Cisco to solve crucial challenges on connectivity and collaboration for both the local government and its constituents.
Since assuming public office, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay has made it a priority to make Makati a smart city by integrating modern technology in various public services that are covered by the local government unit.
“When I came in as Mayor in 2016, there was really a vision to turn Makati into a smart city. There have been digital innovations that we introduced as early as 2017 – one year after my elections as Mayor, [and] it seems that the pandemic has catapulted the need to embrace technology,” Mayor Binay emphasized.
