Episode #7: Crowdsourced Systems: A people-led paradigm
This webinar was part of ITU’s webinar series on Digital transformation for cities and communities.
Crowdsourcing is increasingly becoming a popular method when it comes to digital innovation and transformation. Interested stakeholders participated and contributed to the urban planning process by providing input, data and devices.
This webinar discussed the underlying principles of crowdsourcing, requirements for crowdsourced systems, as well as highly innovative applications in smart cities and communities. It brought together experts to discuss the role of crowdsourcing and crowdsourced systems in the verticals of Smart Manufacturing and Digital Health. The webinar also placed a unique emphasis on the role of ITU international standards in facilitating IoT-related based crowdsourced systems in smart cities.
