Abstract

2017 saw three leading Smart Cities events take place across Europe, organised by Go.Konnect. Held in Budapest, London and Stockholm, the aim of the series was to showcase how cities can embrace technology to drive economic development, citizen engagement and improve sustainability for future generations.

The IET attended all three events, interviewing expert speakers in each location to get their thoughts on how the above goals can be achieved. This video offers a summary of these conversations.

To take a look at the full conference presentations from the interviewees and other experts, see below:
