There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary: Future cities' development is becoming data-driven in the face of emerging technologies like internet of things, data science, and urban automation. But those cities will also face climate challenges, radical urban transitions, and impacts of technologies to human environment, how will city design and technology enable communities to develop a more sustainable, resilient, and socially inclusive future by enhancing their quality of urban living? Globally connected primate cities, including Tokyo, Singapore and Atlanta are experimenting new models of smart cities as living laboratory to reduce urban carbon emission to net zero by 2050 and to meet U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Future cities development is becoming data-driven in the context of emerging technologies such as the internet of things, data science, and urban automation. Facing climate challenges, radical urban transitions, and impacts of technologies on the human environment, how will city design and technology enable communities to develop a more sustainable, resilient, and socially inclusive future by enhancing their quality of urban living? Globally connected primate cities, including Tokyo, Singapore, and Atlanta are experimenting with new models of smart cities as living laboratories to reduce urban carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 and to meet U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The 2023 Smart Cities Systems Design Panel at Georgia Tech College of Design invites faculty and international speakers to share their experiences and novel approaches being tested in the above three cities. The panel discussion will explore how these new thoughts are applied to designing smart communities, smart campuses, and smart cities by incorporating urban design, data analytics, system thinking, and digital technologies.
