Suhono is a professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (STEI) at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). He is a pioneer in the smart city concept, which supports sustainable development, and focuses his research in the field.

Smart City is a concept that presents comprehensive, real-time information about a city's condition. This information can then be accessed through a control room. This concept aims to provide city governments with direct access to information, not through "prompters," and to access as much information as possible in a short time.

Field observations can be conducted using sensor systems installed in various locations. This information system is expected to support transparent and sustainable development.

Data transparency with minimal manipulation can be supported. With a well-managed data system, the mayor and his administration can have comprehensive data on both past and present conditions. This is useful for predicting future conditions. This concept supports sustainable and better Indonesian development.
