City officials hope a $50-million federal grant through the Smart Cities Challenge can help Edmonton make better decision about future infrastructure. The city already posts all the data it collects to its Open Data portal. Edmonton sent off its final Smart Cities proposal on Tuesday. "We have a great working relationship through our 'health city' initiative working with Alberta Health Services on data-driven solutions as well," Iveson said. Smart Cities Challenge team members celebrate the submission of the final proposal at city hall.
