Cornelia Lévy-Bencheton of CLB Strategic Marketing Consulting,

Paris isn't just a smart city -- it's the world's original smart city, thanks to a massive rebuilding of infrastructure and technology in the mid-19th century. But will being a smart city help it succeed as host of the 2024 Olympics? The answer is a qualified yes -- because many of the improvements undertaken during the reign of Napoleon III remain powerful driving forces in 21st-century Paris. Based on my research as the co-author of "Smart Cities, Smart Future (Wiley 2018), my talk will clearly explain what makes a city genuinely smart and I'll show why Paris can rightfully call itself a smart city.
