Presentation title is “Leveraging IoT for Smart City Infrastructure”.
Abstract:
From the aqueduct to the automobile, new technologies have always transformed the
urban environment but often with unexpected negative affects to the environment. An
important layer of the structure of any city are the Infrastructures that connects the
city’s building stock and society with the Environment, the physical and geographic
setting of the city. The design, construction and operation of infrastructures, such as for
energy, waste, water, sanitation and transport, create a socio-technical environment
that shapes the “way of life” of citizens. A greater level of social well-being using the
same or fewer amounts of resources, or with fewer negative environmental impacts
from the Infrastructures remains an untapped potential. IoT as a transformative
technology has the potential to decouple environmental impacts from economic growth
and urbanization.
