The two days of the congress aim to become a space to reflect on the challenges of smart cities in the current situation. In addition, experts will reflect on how to continue leading urban innovation.
«Without a doubt, the current situation will change cities and their functioning. It can do so, helping us to build metropolises capable of providing better services and resources to their inhabitants. It will also enable us to be ready to respond to new emerging challenges. Smart City Live is our contribution to this collective project,» said Ugo Valenti, director of SCEWC.
The first day will be an online transmission focusing on how the coronavirus has affected the cities and how they have adapted to the new conditions. Interviews, discussions, reports and successful experiences will highlight the main changes in smart cities in areas such as mobility, consumption and services.
On November 18, digital workshops and round tables will address the long-term challenges of smart cities. A way of thinking about how the cities of the future will function in the aftermath of the coronavirus.
Our main objective this year is to offer a platform to accelerate the recovery of urban ecosystems, through a new model that allows us, by using the digital format, to connect with all the actors in our sector.
