Smart City – The Future Role of the Housing Sector
The digital transformation of cities is a major challenge –and it is already happening now, in Europe and all over
the world. New technologies increasingly shape public space and find their way into our homes. They promise,
for example, more sustainability through resource efficiency or cleaner mobility, and opportunities for new
business models based on data. But is “Smart City” really the answer to all our questions? Will digitalisation make
our cities more liveable and help us meet our climate goals? How can we ensure that the changes are for the
benefit of the many and not of the few? How can the housing sector live up to its role as a forming force of
urban neighbourhoods? Program: click HERE.
