What is a smart city? It’s a question that has been asked time and time again, and with a definition that has shifted significantly in recent years, it’s one that doesn’t always have a firm answer.
In this episode of the SmartCitiesWorld Podcast, we’re joined by Chris Dymond, Founder and Director of digital capacity-building agency Unfolding, and Academic Director of the Smart Cities Management Programme at Zigurat, to re-assess what smart cities are in today’s context, and how the taxonomy for developing smart city strategy must now extend to include tech, environment, and people all at once.
There’s also discussion of how the cities and local authorities can begin to unpick bad habits and break down siloes through digital transformation, along with the need to strike a tricky balancing act between upskilling workers for a digital future without adding to digital inclusivity challenges as a public sector employer.
