Developers Council-Smart Cities and how they will change how we develop in the future

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and technology-dependent, a new wave of smart applications is changing how we approach everyday activities.  While the ideas of "Smart Cities" has been proposed as the future of urbanism, the question remains: How do we intergrate this new technology for the ultimately "efficient" society?

Smart Cities bring together infrastructure and technology to improve the quality of life of citizens and enhance  their interactions with the urban environment.  But how can data from areas such as public transport, air quality meters and energy production be integrated and effectively used?

The Internet of Things (IoT), could have some of the answers.  Created as part of the smart technology movement, the IoT enables various objects and entities to communicate with each other through the internet.  By creating a network of objects capable of smart interactions, the door is opened to a wide range of technological innovations that could help improve public transport, give accurate traffic reports or provide real-time energy consumption data.

By rendering more technology capable of communicating across platforms, IoT generates more data that can help various aspects of daily life.  Cities can identify both opportunities and challenges in real-time, reducing cost by pinpointing issues prior to their emergence and allocating resources more accurately to maximize impact.

Please join GOBA's Developers Council for a panel discussion on Smart Cities and How they will ultimately change the way we develop cities in the future.  



The Developers Council is a group of committed developers, builders and associate members who meet monthly to discuss prominent issues and topics relating to the residential construction industry. Our programs include an opportunity to network, enjoy a drink, and engage in conversation with a professional panel on issues relating to residential building.
