What is IBM CityOne?

IBM CityOne is a free-to-play business simulation game developed by IBM that focuses on creating more efficient, sustainable, and livable cities. The game allows players to take on the role of city manager and make decisions that impact areas like energy, water, banking, retail, and transit.

In the game, players are put in charge of a hypothetical city that is facing problems with pollution, traffic congestion, rising energy costs and an aging infrastructure. As city manager, players have access to technologies from 100 real-world IBM Smarter Planet solutions to help improve efficiency, sustainability and quality of life in the virtual city.

Some key features and goals of IBM CityOne include:

• Implementing renewable energy sources like wind and solar power
• Improving public transit and mobility around the city
• Reducing waste and improving recycling
• Creating a smarter power grid and meter system
• Implementing green building design principles
• Making banking and financial services more accessible through mobile apps
• Improving healthcare through connected health records and tracking

As players make decisions, they can see the social, economic and environmental impacts on the city. The goal is to boost sustainability, livability and economic success through the decisions made around mobility, energy, banking, retail, water and waste management.

IBM CityOne was created to educate the public on how innovative smart city technologies can be applied to improve how we live and work in urban environments around the world.
