Manage episode 472456668 series 3606254
Smart cities promise efficiency and innovation—but how do they truly function, and what challenges must they overcome? Often associated with cutting-edge tech, real progress depends on sustainability, accessibility, and designing for all who share urban spaces. As cities grow and wildlife adapts to urban life, how can we create environments that work for everyone? From Singapore’s walkable infrastructure to Columbus’s smart mobility solutions, we explore how cities can prioritize inclusive design, digital access, and environmental sustainability. We also discuss the digital divide and the need for smart citizens to make smart cities work. Join us as we unpack signals shaping the future of urban living.
