Smart Cities and Communities
With half of the world's population living in cities, it is important to explore innovative approaches to achieve sustainable development for cities and rural communities. This session will explore approaches to designing smart cities and communities based on people-centred innovation, technology and applications.
Communities of all sizes can benefit from the use of emerging digital technology and collected data and generation of new information to improve the quality of life for the citizens and resources efficiency. In this session, participants will discuss:
Emerging Technology for people-centred smart cities and communities;
The global ecosystem of smart cities and communities, including technology, governance, and policies;
