IEEE Smart Cites Gothenburg Sweden
Smart Devices, Smart People, Smart Health Care, Smart Transporation. Find out why Gothenburg is a top smart City.
Join us for an interactive session on IEEE Smart Cities Gothenburg Sweden. Why is Gothenburg Smart? Do they have smart people, smart transporation, smart governance, smart buildings, and/or Smart Health? Find out today where Gothenburg ranks in the Top Smart Cities.
Smart cities, even if "powered by people," are falling short of not fundamentally reshaping American cities. Therefore, Americans are being under-served by their cities and towns and being denied a better quality of life. Why is this? And what can we do to solve this? My view is that the shortcomings include the difficulty of transforming existing systems and infrastructure, fragmentation of urban markets, out of date procurement practices, and technology versus benefits / outcomes determining the solutions being sold in the marketplace. I will explore some solutions but will be equally interested in your ideas on solutions. Also important in Smart Cities is urban design.
