City Possible Summit 2021. Building 24-Hour Cities

24h

A 24-hour globally connected planet means a world of cities that never sleep. Nighttime economies can be just as vibrant as dayside counterparts. Entertainment venues kick into high gear, restaurants serve food long into the evening and city services, from hospital to police departments, continue providing support across the city.

With the persistent wave of cyberattacks against local governments, cities are facing increased pressure to secure the technologies that permeate everyday life.
