How Do Urban Resilience and Talent Retention Connect?
Decades of government and philanthropic policies have facilitated economically stagnant zones where people measure their success by how far they get away. This talent-extraction paradigm makes them far more vulnerable to real estate speculation and displacement, and removes individuals with spending power, day to day examples of success, and the investment and financial acumen needed to build local economies.
Next-Gen Tech Leading the New Urban Era
Cities are embracing the transformative potential of cutting-edge technology. Innovations in AI, IoT, data analysis, and connectivity are already transforming urban areas into smarter, more efficient, and more inclusive environments. The key to success lies in leveraging these technologies to empower thriving cities, creating innovative, resilient, and citizen-centric urban hubs. How can urban leaders implement these technologies seamlessly into the day-to-day of cities to take advantage of all their potential?
Energy Innovation Solution for the Future of Humanity: Smart Net-zero City
‘SMR Smart Net Zero City’ is a city that achieves sustainable development and carbon neutrality by utilizing SMR (Small Modular Reactors) and renewable energy. SMRs and renewable energy supply systems can provide all the energy required by a city, including electricity, heat, and hydrogen, at an economical price. This system not only contributes to economic growth and job creation but also helps the city achieve carbon neutrality.
Eco-Urbanism: Responding to a Changing Climate
Cities are increasingly experiencing the direct and indirect consequences of the climate emergency. Simultaneously, they are hubs of innovation that can enhance their resilience and foster healthier, more sustainable environments through sustainable urban planning strategies. By integrating green spaces, eco-friendly infrastructure, and renewable energy, cities are reducing carbon footprints and promoting biodiversity. How can they further leverage these strategies to combat climate change?
Driving Change: The Role of Vehicle Fleets in the Sustainable Mobility Transition
The successful deployment of zero-emission technologies, both at vehicle and infrastructure level, heavily depend on their adoptions by private and public vehicle fleets. This panel will reflect on the importance of fleets to accelerate the adoption of cleaner forms of mobility and will explore the role of fleets in supporting transformational mobility innovations.
Elevating Urban Living: Engaging Communities and Integrating Services for a Net Positive Smart City
Integrating services and fostering community engagement can transform urban spaces into sustainable, thriving environments. Empowered communities can create net-positive smart cities by addressing challenges like population growth and resource scarcity. Strong engagement allows residents to shape their cities, boosting ownership and belonging. Case studies show that collaboration and service integration improve operations, quality of life, and environmental contributions, offering valuable insights for urban development.
How AI and Smart Technologies are Transforming Urban Infrastructure
Integration of smart technologies in urban infrastructure, like smart grids and transportation systems, alongside AI-driven optimization, enhances city operations’ efficiency and sustainability. Utilizing city data via digital twins identifies areas for improvement, while shared data (e.g., satellite maps, and smart sensors) optimizes traffic and mobility. In addition, the keynote also sheds light on smart cities efforts and achievements in Saudi Arabia.
