Humanising Smart Cities
Everyone focuses on the technology, but everything SHOULD focus on the humans!
Change is happening whether we are involved or not. And there is enormous pressure for industry, government, and their agencies to get involved with the Smart Cities movement. However, the current approach to Smart Cities inadvertently create barriers for a better future because it can focus on technology for the sake of technology.
It’s time to Humanise Smart Cities by shifting to Smart Communities for the benefit of everyone. This approach breaks down barriers by breaking it down for people.
And it’s time to start now!
A civil engineer and data scientist with extensive global experience, Zoe takes the overwhelm of the technology conversation. She does this by sharing stories, insights and lessons which will surprise, engage and educate your audience about what is possible through technology and data, when the focus on the human experience. But she doesn’t stop there, Zoe will also lift the lid of some of the disasters that have been implemented in the name of smart cities, and the embarrassing results when focus is not right (so we can avoid them!).
Zoe’s keynote empowers audiences to think differently, ignite new ideas and unlock their potential to adapt in an ever changing world. Zoe will leave the audience with useful tools which they can use immediately to shape a future they want to live, work and play in.
This is what is needed to thrive now and into the future for government agencies, business, individuals and communities around the world.
