A smart city can be likened to a human body, an intelligent organism with technology as the "nervous system" that receives signals and responds to our needs. The smart city of the future dynamically adapts its infrastructure and provides its citizens with exactly what they need. In this lecture, Richard explores topics such as mobility, technology and sustainability in Smart Cities. Make a no-obligation request through ShowBird!
The future of the smart city
A smart city functions like a living organism, with technology acting as the complex nervous system that detects and responds to the needs of the city and its residents. As visionary hubs, these advanced urban environments use real-time data from residents and their devices to optimize essential city functions such as water supply, waste management, energy management and mobility. In the smart city of the future, sensors are ubiquitous, allowing all urban elements and infrastructure - from traffic networks to buildings - to switch instantly with constantly fluctuating needs.
During this keynote, I will take you on an inspiring journey into the future and discover how to prepare your organization for change. Expect numerous practical
examples, relevant case studies and valuable forecasts.
