We talk IoT: Building Smarter Cities: The Power of Data - Episode 29

We talk IoT – The Internet of Things Business Podcast

By 2050 over 2,5 billion people are predicted to live in cities. How can our roads, public transport systems and our nerves sustain this? As cities keep growing and infrastructure suffers, can IoT and data help?

A smart city can leverage data sources, from vehicle movement to energy use and water distribution. If you put all this information into context, city planners and citizens alike can make better decisions.

Are you ready to learn how cities can become smarter? In this episode, we discuss the importance of data in creating efficient and effective city services. Marek Suchocki from Autodesk shares his insights into the benefits of having structured and integrated data sets and why sharing data with the right people can lead to smarter cities. We also address the crucial issue of data security. Join us as we explore the world of smart cities and discover what it takes to make them a reality.
