| Abstract | A smart city is a term commonly used to describe iconic and often futuristic urban areas that utilize advanced information and communication technologies to ensure sustainable management of the city’s infrastructure and services. However, an important question often overlooked is whether “smart” cities can also enhance human aspirations and creativity. The evolution of cities over the past five thousand years sheds light on the key factors that make a city vibrant, creative, beautiful, just, and inspiring. City planning has been a profession for more than a century, and while technology can significantly contribute to effective city management, it alone is not enough to ensure a high quality of life. A city encompasses much more than its technological aspects; its character is shaped by history, culture, and the unique social practices that separate one city from another. This talk will examine the role of technology in effective city management while acknowledging its limitations. It will also showcase some of our research that makes cities smarter and more resilient. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). |
