How Will Big Data Enable the Future of Smart Cities? Green Drinks September Forum

  • 24-09-2015 18:30 - 21:00
  • Arup Associates, Shanghai

Join Green Initiatives for our first event of the brand new event series, 'Building for the Future', to be held at Arup Shanghai from September to December 2015.

As the world begins to look beyond the now almost-obsolete ‘Eco’ Cities concept towards ‘Smart' Cities as the model for our sustainable urban future, more advanced information management tools and data are needed to provide for such cities' public amenities, infrastructure and all kinds of services. This is where big data comes in. By implementing monitoring and security systems to generate, process, and utilize data on cities' water, electricity, transportation, and other necessities we could perhaps lay the foundation towards more energy-efficient, climate-resilient and healthier cities. 

Some questions we would be looking to answer through this forum are: What types of information or data management tools and technologies are out there? What are types of information are gleaned from these technologies? How does this relate to big data and how is this data being used to improve cities? What are the challenges to realise these technologies in our cities? Who are the key stakeholders?

Join us at Arup Shanghai, to learn about how big data is the next step for building and achieving the Smart City dream.

Note: An entrance fee of ¥30 will be collected from all registered guests, while non-registered guests or those who show up at the door directly would be required to pay ¥50.
