in englischer SpracheWe are living in the age of cities: estimations suggest that by the year 2050 over 70% of the world’s population will be living in cities. There are many open issues and research questions related to this development, from urban development, transportation and economic development to social services, healthcare, energy, public safety, education and more.
This workshop will focus on the “smart city”, a place with efficient, effective and sustainable services where people can enjoy a high quality of life; a city that is characterised by its digital heartbeat, connectivity and intelligent services that benefit its population.
