“A city isn’t smart because it uses technology. A city is smart because it uses technology to make its citizens’ lives better” - Smart Cities Council
The Exchange at Knowledge Market’s free public lecture series continues with Bonnie Shaw and Jordi McInerney from City of Melbourne’s Smart City Office.
How can we adapt our city to its citizens while our citizens adapt to a rapidly changing city?
Hear how the City of Melbourne’s Smart City Approach connects people, place and technology for the benefit of all. Learn how the Smart City Office works to enable a data culture, foresee and understand disruptive change, use participative design and problem solving and facilitates knowledge sharing. Take a wander into the Melbourne Innovation District to understand how the City of Melbourne is partnering with RMIT and the University of Melbourne to deliver a world-class innovation district in City North. Then, learn how the Smart City Office is prototyping smart infrastructure projects to learn about how the city is used.
