DESCRIPTION:The term "Smart cities" is used frequently to enhance the value
  of a new process or initiative announced by local or federal government a
 nd this is a welcome and acceptable activity to push the initiative along 
 to another level as part of an overall plan for a smart city. The plans fo
 r smart cities as cited by many "Smartcity" related blogs or website initi
 atives might not tackle the fundamental question of "what is a smart city"
 ? This presentation will touch on various aspects of a smart city\, the "d
 igital twin"\, "digital transformation targets" and what has been done to 
 date and what needs to be done in the near future if one has to use the ti
 tle of "Smartcity". The presenter will show using examples of what a smart
  city should provide and how some of these facilities are focused on reduc
 ing the "friction" in the daily activity in a smart city. Recent research 
 findings presented at an recent international "virtual" conference will be
  presented and questions regarding how we take city objectives forward res
 pecting individual city themes will be discussed. Studies presented at res
 earch at the Macquarie University and other resources at the IEEE (smartci
 ties.ieee.org) will be touched on such as how cities can be "adopted" by r
 esearch institutions to guide their progress into several important functi
 onal areas of city activity that emerge from research on what makes a smar
 t city "smart"!\n\nCo-sponsored by: Dr Kumbesan Sandrasegaran\n\nSpeaker(s

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The term "Smart cities" is used frequently
  to enhance the value of a new process or initiative announced by local or
  federal government and this is a welcome and acceptable activity to push 
 the initiative along to another level as part of an overall plan for a sma
 rt city. The plans for smart cities as cited by many "Smartcity" related b
 logs or website initiatives might not tackle the fundamental question of "
 what is a smart city"? This presentation will touch on various aspects of 
 a smart city\, the "digital twin"\, "digital transformation targets" and w
 hat has been done to date and what needs to be done in the near future if 
 one has to use the title of "Smartcity". The presenter will show using exa
 mples of what a smart city should provide and how some of these facilities
  are focused on reducing the "friction" in the daily activity in a smart c
 ity. Recent research findings presented at an recent international "virtua
 l" conference will be presented and questions regarding how we take city o
 bjectives forward respecting individual city themes will be discussed. Stu
 dies presented at research at the Macquarie University and other resources
  at the IEEE (smartcities.ieee.org) will be touched on such as how cities 
 can be "adopted" by research institutions to guide their progress into sev
 eral important functional areas of city activity that emerge from research
