I recently attended a conference about how smart cities can enhance sustainability and resilience, and one of the key insights that stood out to me was the role of communities as essential sensors. Communities provide valuable data, feedback, and insights that help cities better understand local needs and drive meaningful change. However, one challenge that was highlighted is the difficulty of trusting the data and contributions from the community. It’s not just about ensuring trust in the people but about how we can trust the information that is provided. The data gathered from a diverse group of individuals might vary in quality, accuracy, or relevance, which creates a complex challenge for decision-makers. #SmartAndResilientCities #Community #DigitalTwin #UrbanHazard
We have been honored to have Isam Shahrour, President of Smart Conseil and Emeritus Professor at the University of Lille, with us for his lecture titled 'How Could the Smart City Enhance Urban Sustainability and Resilience?' as part of the 'Major Urban Challenges' lecture series within the 'Smart and Resilient Cities' program at Junia_ingénieurs. The impact of climate change, coupled with the rapid and often unchecked urbanization, poses significant challenges for the development of sustainable and resilient cities. As urban populations continue to grow and natural resources become increasingly strained, it is imperative to find solutions that balance environmental sustainability with social equity. In this context, the concept of the smart city has emerged as a promising approach to addressing these pressing challenges. Nous avons eu l'honneur d'accueillir Isam Shahrour, Président de Smart Conseil et Professeur Émérite à l'Université de Lille, pour sa conférence intitulée 'Comment la ville intelligente pourrait-elle améliorer la durabilité et la résilience urbaines ?', dans le cadre du cycle de conférences 'Major Urban Challenges' du programme 'Smart and Resilient Cities à Junia_ingénieurs. L'impact du changement climatique, associé à une urbanisation rapide et souvent incontrôlée, pose des défis importants pour le développement de villes durables et résilientes. Alors que les populations urbaines continuent de croître et que les ressources naturelles deviennent de plus en plus limitées, il est impératif de trouver des solutions qui équilibrent durabilité environnementale et équité sociale. Dans ce contexte, le concept de la ville intelligente a émergé comme une approche prometteuse pour relever ces défis urgents."
