While urbanisation continues its momentum in our region, our cities are under pressure to maintain a high level of livability and productivity.

A smart city is where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital solutions for the benefit of its inhabitants and the city as a whole. Smart cities go beyond the use of just digital technologies, as they aim to create a better experience, stronger resilience, and enhanced sustainability.

The talk uncovers the differences and similarities between two smart cities in the region in terms of their strategies, codes and guidelines.
