Presentation abstract: Cities of the future: Beyond technology
The global urbanization process, with more than half of the world population already living in cities, and the digital revolution, which is leading us to a hyper connected world and a collaborative society, make the concept of Smart City be relevant. However, to build smart and sustainable cities will require more that technology. Currently, there are many challenges to reach, for example public administrations need to define new rules for data economy; citizens need to develop new abilities and technology needs to be integrated and interoperable.
