EIT Digital's video: How Smart Are Cities Building Cities That Are Connected and Sustainable

A smart city is one that engages its citizens and connects with its infrastructure digitally, applying new technologies to address challenges such as urban mobility. These technologies will need to work together seamlessly and benefit citizens, as well as respect democratic values, diversity and citizens’ digital rights. The dialogue will address the need to invest in more and better connectivity and open data infrastructures, as well as digital platforms to foster the sharing economy, self-driving cars and e-mobility. This will require an ecosystem of citizens, entrepreneurs and innovators, research institutes, and local governments, partnering together as “Innovation Hubs.” Join the conversation with transatlantic leaders on the current state of “smartness” within cities in Europe and California - and the way forward.
