Some of the most spectacular, visionary megaprojects in Europe, the Middle East and Asia are striving to incorporate a host of concepts never before seen in modern urban design: resource conservation, alternative energy and “smart grid” technologies, GHG and air quality standards, physical security, smart health, education and transportation services - all tethered together in a gigabit fiber network providing ‘ubiquitous’ connectivity ultimately resulting in a dramatic difference in how we live, work and play. How are these ambitious megaprojects panning out? Is there a roadmap for smart city development? How can “smart master planning” help maximize the return from the technology investment? Are there best practices we can point to? In this February 3rd General Session we’ll explore these questions and also showcase 3 of the most innovative intelligent urban projects in the world and hear from the visionary leaders charged with making them a reality.
