Smart Cities: engaging with citizens to accelerate green solutions

Talk

Wednesday 03 June 2020
11:30 - 12:30

In this talk we will hear about digital tools that can help us achieve social and environmental benefits in our cities.

How can the use of innovative technology support the transition towards green cities while empowering citizens? We will present case studies from London and Milan on the use of digital citizen engagement tools to reduce energy consumption in buildings and incentivise behaviour change. There will also be an opportunity to discuss future implementation and explore paths for better city-business engagement.
