Abstract:

Topic: ��Building Cities for Digital Citizens �V Getting the Technology Foundation Right��

While cities have been catching up and investing in new technologies, their focus may have been geared too much towards the technology products and solutions, and not enough on the end users �V the citizens, local entrepreneurs, city workers, tourists and other parts of the community.

In the presentation, the speaker will go into four of the six trends identified in the Accenture Technology Vision 2014, to explain how they are affecting cities and their citizens. Examples in leading cities around the world will be provided before explaining how the technology actually works, and profiling the specific technology trend underpinning the shift.
