WEBINAR: Empowering Citizens in Smart Cities
Some of us have a deep understanding of how towns and cities are evolving into better connected societies, while others are still looking at what role they can play in this new world.
What is obvious though is that digital technologies are the lifeblood of today’s cities. As more and more sensors and smart devices join smart urban networks, and as analytics facilitates interpretation of the data these sensors collect. Elected officials and city administrators can now gain an unparalleled understanding of the infrastructure and services of their city.
Join Sarah Murray, a writer on business, society and the environment for the Economist as she moderates our way through this webinar alongside Susanne Seitinger - a specialist in smart cities from Philips Lighting. They will talk about how citizens and businesses in 12 diverse cities around the world envision the benefits of smart cities and engage with webinar participants throughout the session.
