THE DIGITALISATION OF URBAN MANAGEMENT
Information
In collaboration with Ville de Montréal
The future of urban planning and development is here, and the increase in leveraging emerging technologies for improved decision-making in urban ecosystems brings an array of benefits that will enable us to better tackle the imperatives of our time, but crucial emerging issues are yet to be answered. What is the general outlook on the state of smart cities globally today? Which key areas of urban planning and development can benefit from these technologies and which solutions do they provide to modern urban needs? What foreseeable risks should be kept top of mind and which labour segments will be disrupted as a result of these technologies?
