A smart community thrives on innovation and exploration. Smart Raleigh, housed within the Office of Strategy and Innovation (OSI), collaborates closely with the IT department and other city departments to develop smart city projects that address community issues and opportunities while testing advanced technologies.
A Pilot Project is a short-term “test” of a new technology that is focused on improving the lives of citizens or improving local government efficiency in delivery of services.
Smart Raleigh Projects
Peach Road Cultural Center Smart Lights and Wi-Fi: This project aims to test energy-efficient lights and a public Wi-Fi network to serve a largely immigrant population and neighborhood with limited high-speed internet access. Future stages may expand the project to the surrounding neighborhood or integrate new camera monitoring.

Greenway Innovation Corridor: Based on input from the “Greenway Academy,” this project identifies a 1.5-mile section of the city’s greenway as an innovation corridor where we will deploy new ideas, both tech-related and non-tech-related.
