Data-driven smart city initiatives, enabled by emerging digital technologies, have the power to transform citywide operations and improve the quality of life for individual citizens. More and more cities are deploying smart streetlights, smart parking solutions, intelligent transportation, and using data analytics to advance energy efficiency. Other thought-leaders are developing entirely new urban spaces for future inhabitants. In a time when our world needs creative solutions, how can we integrate the information we already have to make better decisions at the community level? Join us as a panel of experts discuss the ways they are reimagining solutions to problems in commerce, energy consumption, and transportation at the city level. We will look at how real-life, human problems might be managed by more responsive, informed design and leadership.
