The new face of cities during the 9th Smart City Forum
17:03
All thanks to the 9th Smart City Forum, which will be taking place on these dates at The Westin Warsaw Hotel. For years now, the congress has attracted the biggest authorities and outstanding experts of the smart city market in order to jointly discuss the implementation of new technologies in cities in the context of quality of life and the residents feeling of satisfaction.
Smart
Citizen
Each
of the city’s authorities wants to create a smart, modern city
which will be a pioneer in the implementation of technologically
advanced solutions. However, it is worth remembering not to forget
about the residents in all of this. The 9th
Smart City Forum will
attempt to answer the question of how to make changes in line with
citizens needs. Debates and presentations will discuss the subject of
the resident and its role in creating the strategy of a modern city.
Certainly there will be no lack of the topic of security.
Digitization, digitalization and the introduction of artificial
intelligence, in addition to many advantages, also brings some
threats. Changes made to cities must be in harmony with the privacy
and comfort of citizens. Looking at the multitude of Smart City
solutions, one must also remember about functionality. It is
necessary to integrate solutions so that the resident can
intuitively, and with greater ease, use the opportunities that are
available to them. While talking about the human aspect, the topic
of public payments or management of paid parking zones cannot be
missing. The solutions presented at the congress will deal with real
problems that residents face every day.
Smart
City for
everyone
The
fact that the vision of a smart city does not only concern large
agglomerations has been known for some time. Towns which up to 20,000
residents have great potential to develop. Like small businesses, in
combination with a large corporation - small cities are able to
implement new solutions very quickly. They only need to know the
trends and get to know ready-made projects that they will introduce
in their surroundings. Fighting this is the 9th
Smart City Forum.
It is here that during two substantive days and live discussions, you
can learn how cities operate under the supervision of local
governments, what residents expect and what companies or startups
have to offer. During the meeting, specialist discuss the most
effective models for the implementation of specific investments. They
also answer questions about sources of funding for the implementation
of interesting ideas. This is a precise dose of knowledge that really
brings cities closer to becoming a Smart City.
The
autumn edition of the Smart
City Forum turned
out to be a great success. In the heavy period of local government
elections, representatives of Polish cities talked about their
achievements, plans and visions for development. “The Smart
City Forum is
a place where you can talk with other local government officials, you
can get to know the perspective of entrepreneurs and companies and
think together about what solutions we need to implement to improve
the quality of life, so that we can all live better.” -
said Bartosz Bartoszewicz, Deputy Mayor of the City of Gdynia
responsible for quality of life.
The
end of the first day of the Smart
City Forum will
be the Smart
City Grand Gala.
During the Gala, winners of the Smart
City Competition will
be awarded in the following categories:
- Personality of the Year
- Smart City to 100 thousand residents
- Smart City from 100 to 500 thousand residents
- Smart City above 500 thousand residents
