About the session

Stephen Lowe, Knowledge Transfer Manager, The KTN Built Environment

Day 2: 11:15 - 11:30, Roadmap to the future of urban living

How do we evolve our existing cities into smart cities progressively, in a way which makes business sense, spreads investment requirements and keeps our cities working effectively 24/7 as they are upgraded? How do you rewire a plug which is connected to the live mains? Our speaker explores possible roadmaps to upgrade cities, drawing insights from lessons from our cities pasts.
