NESTiD Seminar: Smart Cities

Friday 3 Nov 2023, 13:00 → 13:30 UTC

Abstract: 
Cities play an important role in tackling climate change due to human population and the evergrowing pressure on energy usage. My presentation will discuss how cities can respond to the circularity challenge by proposing a social contract model to engage the quadruple stakeholders in developing inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities – which contributes directly to SDGs 8 & 11. We identify the following eight factors that are essential to this social contract and are detailed in this report: Innovation & Technology, People & Human Resources, Wellness, Health, Education & Liveability, Financial Funding, Leadership & Governance, Business Professional ESR, Circular Economy and Energy Net Neutrality.
