Smart Village Initiatives (SVRI), are formed as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) sharing in the benefits of preferential tax treatment to create scalable models of the Smart Village concept under the New Markets Development Fund. This consists of the phased development of 50 to 100-Acre units of affordable modular housing units located in suburban and rural areas geared toward home-affordability for responsible hard-working Americans. The Villages will exist with “behind-the-meter” ground-mounted community PV solar fields. co-mingled with accommodating rooftop solar shingles (designed by Solar City) and electrical storage, along with state-of-the-art climate-controlled, computerized, indoor hydroponics farming facilities. The Villages could very well be self-sufficient with food and energy in a time of crisis. They will be built on land with adequate egress and accessibility to shopping, employment, and schools.
Smart cities deploy Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and data to improve urban services, infrastructure, sustainability, and the quality of life for citizens. By leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, and Artificial Intelligence, these cities collect data to enhance transportation, energy use, waste management, public safety, and more, creating a more efficient, livable, and responsive urban environment.
Key Components and Technologies
IoT and Sensors: Networks of connected devices, vehicles, and sensors collect real-time data on traffic, environmental conditions, energy usage, and other factors.
Data Analytics: Advanced platforms and AI/ML algorithms analyze this data to provide actionable insights for better urban management and decision-making.
High-Speed Communication Networks: Reliable and fast networks, such as 5G, are essential for connecting devices and transmitting the vast amounts of data generated by smart city systems.
