SCC #SustainableChat Webinar
Making Cities Smarter
Smart cities are about people and technology. This webinar will discuss groundbreaking
examples of successful projects as well as pitfalls. It will be a broad discussion kick
starting with a look at the following issues:
• How should a city go about developing a strategy for development in a 'smart' way?
• How can community revitalization be supported with new technology?
• How can citizens be helped to go about their business using smart technology, for
example in the area of transport?
Whether it is democratic accountability, energy efficiency and renewable energy, zero
waste targets or walkability there is hardly an area of life that is not being touched by
revolutionary promise of smart cities. But as an umbrella term it is often used in advisedly.
This webinar will attempt to sort out genuine success stories from business as usual hype.
