The term ‘smart’ is now quite widely, and sometimes loosely used … smart cars, smart agriculture, smart kettles, smart tooth brushes; and of course, smart cities. Dublin City Council is at the forefront in Ireland in moving towards the introduction of smart technologies and the associated infrastructures as part of its programme to create a more citizen friendly and efficient city.
Chris’ presentation will:
- Discuss* what is a smart city;
- Contextualise smart cities within the broader sustainable development framework;
- Outline some current trends and challenges in the smart cities paradigm;
- Highlight some of the main Dublin City Council smart cities initiatives which are being taken;
- Speculate regarding how the smart cities paradigm might change over the coming years.
*There is no current generally accepted definition of a smart city.
