However what about cities that lack pockets and tight budgets implement smart city services? Trac is on a mission to change the way smart cities are defined by offering the CITY AS A SERVICE PLATFORM. We are the first to develop and deploy a plug-n-play microservice model of core municipal services through digital platforms that are data-driven and accessible via personal devices. Through this, we want to dissolve traditional tensions between residents and cities and improve sustainable-driven urban quality of life with the low-cost model.
