How Local Contributions Improve Urban Resilience on a Global Scale

A large part of the population lives in cities and this rate will continue to increase in the future. Large cities have high potential in terms of economic growth, innovation, and sustainability, but unlocking this potential requires taking into account various factors, including concepts such as technology infrastructure, dynamic data flow, big data, and artificial intelligence.

In this context, the cities of the future, which are on the way to implementing the concept of smart cities, offer a great opportunity to accelerate the economic growth and recovery processes of cities by using technology and data analytics. Making data-oriented decisions, improving transportation, and sustainable solutions, with the support of artificial intelligence, one of the current technology tools in Geographic Information Systems (#GIS), smart urbanization, transportation, agriculture applications, and many other studies that form the building blocks of Smart Cities. It facilitates the development of informative and digital literacy programs, increasing the skills of the workforce, identifying new economic opportunities, and developing digital skills and investment opportunities. In this way, cities offer a better quality of life and economic benefits to their residents, while also creating an attractive business environment for businesses.

Promoting #sustainability and #economicgrowth is not just limited to recycling or large environmental projects.

When we consider the economy created by the services offered by cities to citizens, it may seem like a simple action for a citizen to obtain the document required for basic housing needs from institutions. But when evaluated on a world scale, it involves many sustainability problems such as the carbon monoxide emission of the means of transportation, the cost of the institution's personnel, the time loss of the personnel and the citizen, and the power cost of the office, computers, and printer. At the end of the day, you are left with one printed document from all these transactions.

With our priorities in the field of sustainability and our countless experiences from projects carried out with local governments, we contribute to achieving resilient economic goals within the scope of cities and the services they offer.

• With BelsisIMS, local governments can create comprehensive city maps encompassing hospitals, schools, shopping malls, hotels, banks, and more, within their boundaries.
• Our web and mobile-based tools streamline daily life for residents, enabling easy address and location queries. Customized modules of BelsisCAD are accessible to property owners, real estate agents, contractors, and appraisers to enhance efficiency, reduce phone congestion, and improve municipal performance.
• Additionally, a specific module of BelsisMIS provides access to vital statistical data, including causes of death, demographics, and thematic maps. Users can even find their loved ones' graves by defining grave numbers, with the app offering 3D design capabilities.

The concept of a resilient urban economy should form the basis of the growth and development strategies of future cities. This allows cities to be built that will deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits both locally and globally. As Belsis, we help states and citizens use city resources more efficiently, promote environmental sustainability, and increase their livability by developing current technologies and sustainable practices.
