Abstract:
Whether measured by expected market valuation, the speed of technological change, or potential of data collection and analytics, smart cities development has become a vital area of growth for governments, the public and corporations alike. However, the development has not been as inclusive and more action needs to be undertaken to ensure that all communities can reap the benefits of smart development. This talk will explore what smart cities means for Georgia Tech, how Georgia Tech is broadening the opportunities for smart communities, including the current and upcoming projects, and further plans to drive smart community thought leadership.
