Session 8: Driving Smart Cities forward
Cities will become increasingly interconnected through an ever-expanding “internet of things,” allowing governments, urban planners and engineers access to massive amounts of data about urban life. This data is being used to design, plan, and structure cities in the United States and around the world. This session seeks to explore the many facets of smart-cities research, design, planning, and transportation.
