About the session
“A city is nothing without its people. The people of Glasgow are at the heart of Glasgow’s transformation to a Smart and Future City.
Through the Future City Glasgow programme, Glasgow has demonstrated how we can use technology for a smarter, safer and more sustainable city. The implementation of these foundations supports Glasgow's journey to a Smart and Future City.
We want to share our lessons learned with you on how we have:
• Made our streets safer through the creation of the Glasgow Operations Centre.
• Demonstrated how we can better use, save and generate energy whilst reducing carbon emissions in the city.
• Involved and empowered communities with organised community mapping sessions.
• Inspired future generations to embrace the digital age through interactive, dynamic coding sessions.
• Promoted City innovation through cutting edge hackathons.
• Improved the efficiency of bus services for our social transport services.
• Opened up Glasgow through open data empowering citizens to interact with the city.
