‘Smart cities’ is a term used to describe the use of smart technologies and data as the means to solve cities’ sustainability challenges. Many cities are in the process of making themselves smart, using data and technology to improve transport, energy use, health and air quality or to drive economic growth. Others are being built to be smart from the start. So this is a term that relates to the present and to the future.
Students of this course will be exposed to experts from numerous disciplines, they will meet a multiplicity of smart city projects and be able to apply what they learn to a real project in their own city or community.
