How cities can tackle their biggest challenges through partnership
from SmartCitiesWorld Podcast Hosted by SmartCitiesWorld
The latest podcast from SmartCitiesWorld sees editor Luke Antoniou welcome Venturous Group’s Benson Tam and Arup’s Michael Kwok to talk all things collaborative in city technology. Together, there’s discussion of the role that Venturous Group and Arup are playing – both together and individually – in driving forward a partnership model to help develop smarter cities. This includes understanding of the state of play within Venturous Group’s citytech network, and insight into the development of the Neuron smart building platform – itself a joint venture between Arup and Venturous Group. Further, we find out about the importance of scalability and right-sizing solutions for adoption by different types of organisations, whether they’re cities or private-sector owned and operated entities that have many of the same needs as modern cities. There’s also discussion of the next steps for the smart city concept and vision, and how citizens themselves will be able to personalise their own city experiences based on individual preference, based on the technology that can be created and adopted within a city context through new partnerships. For more on Venturous Group’s work, both with Arup and its other citytech partners, download the SmartCitiesWorld Shenzhen City Profile, which includes more case studies on how Venturous Group is supporting the advancement of city technology.
