Transport Operations from the Baguio Smart City Control Center (SC3)
In our fourteenth expert interview, we move to Baguio City in the Philippines to examine its ambitious plan to achieve classification as a full-fledged Smart City by 2027.
Conrad sits down with Adam Bert Lacay, information system analyst at the city government of Baguio, to delve into the strategy behind this transformation. At its core, Adam explains, is the Cisco-powered Smart City Command Centre. Launched in September 2021, this advanced traffic and urban management hub marks a significant milestone in the Philippines’ digital evolution.
He further shares valuable information on how the Command Center integrates advanced technologies like AI-driven analytics, and real-time data monitoring to address urban challenges, including traffic management, environmental monitoring, and public safety. This case study highlights the critical role of public-private partnerships in fostering sustainable urban development.
