The document envisions the city of the future as being more sustainable and socially connected through new technologies. It will focus on green development like electric cars and renewable energy. Communities will form more easily thanks to improved connectivity and social media, linking people across geographical and cultural differences. Technology will play a facilitator role, collecting data through sensors to optimize traffic, advise homeowners, and potentially integrate humans with devices or implants. The city of the future is predicted to track lifestyle data to guide policies while raising environmental and social awareness.

When Two Worlds Collide: Data Strategy and Strategic Planning for 'Smart Gove...Sarah Barns
The rise of the data economy and support for ‘government as platform’ models of digital governance have seen growing appetite among city governments to invest in public-facing dashboards, which use open data channels to promote greater transparency in the monitoring a city’s well-being and functional performance. Well known examples include the London Data Store, the Dublin Dashboard and the NYC Open Data.
As the dashboard model grows traction and is embraced by Australian governments, this paper reflects on the institutional design of city dashboards, as they cut across the worlds of ICT policy and strategic urban planning. Based on recent case study research across Sydney, London and New York, this presentation compares a series of dashboard examples with a view to understanding the relationship between data-driven discovery programs, open data release channels or platforms, and the mechanisms of city performance management and strategic planning. In particular, it addresses the ‘back end’ support programs that support data discovery and harvesting; the challenges of persistent ‘data shadows’; and the forums needed to support alignment between data discovery, citizen engagement and strategic planning.
The analysis highlights the need to address the rise of city dashboards not simply as end products, but as more open-ended processes through which decision-makers, researchers and urbanists and technologists can seek to test the potential for data-driven methodologies to guide responses to contemporary city challenges.

Smart Cities - Why they're not working for us yet.Rick Robinson
My presentation to the April 2016 Eurocities Knowledge Sharing Forum in Rennes. My focus was on describing Smart Cities as an economic and political challenge; and exploring the policy mechanisms that could be used to incentivise private sector investments in business and technology to support local social, economic and environmental outcomes. Further description and supporting evidence for these ideas can be found at https://theurbantechnologist.com/2016/02/01/why-smart-cities-still-arent-working-for-us-after-20-years-and-how-we-can-fix-them/
So, you hate the NSA collecting information about you. And you hate when brands track your purchases to sell you more stuff. But do you hate the idea of a smart city?
Smart cities, with their “intelligent urban infrastructures”, promise greater civic participation, reduced waste, less traffic and a more capable government. But what are citizens sacrificing in return? How much do we want our cities to think for us? And are there benefits to “dumb cities” and their inconveniences?
In this battle-it-out presentation, Marissa Gluck and Christine Outram will fight to the finish about whether intelligent urban infrastructures are really capable of creating more livable, sustainable and economically viable cities.
Christine, will play the role of techno-determinist, convinced of technologies ability to improve our cities, without eroding civil liberties. Meanwhile, Marissa will play devils advocate, arguing that these new technologies will erase privacy, chance, serendipity and the beauty that comes from reduced automation and control.
This presentation was delivered at STLX 2019; the conference for user experience professionals in the St. Louis region. The content discussed two frameworks from city planning and discussed their current relevance and future application for those designing experiences with technology.

The open data landscape in Bristol is evolving rapidly. This special meetup will update South West Data on recent developments, including an opportunity for the Meetup to become the City's official Open Data Institute (ODI) network - kickstarting ODI Bristol with an established network of data experts to which the ODI Node would bring data producers and data consumers into the mix.
In January 2015, Kevin O'Malley, Bristol City Council, gave a well-received talk to a packed meetup about Bristol is Open and the Open Programmable City API. One year on he will be returning to talk about ODI Bristol and update the group on additions to the City's open data portfolio, including Bristol API (Transport).
There's also a lot going on in open data in the region, outside of Bristol City Council and Jen Williams, from NetworkedPlanet, will be pitching an idea for South West Data to host an Open Data Camp, an "unconference", which would involve taking over the Watershed for a weekend and a mix of local, national and international (un)delegates.
The meetup will allow time for, appropriately, open discussion, questions and answers from the speakers and the audience.

1. BackgroundThe use of artificial intelligence (AI) in smart citiesTatianaMajor22
1. BackgroundThe use of artificial intelligence (AI) in smart cities, its effect on governance, decision-making, innovative discipline, and prospects of revolution have been a topic of discussion in debate and practice recent years. Data generation utilizing AI is possible in government and private sectors exploring new approaches to understand our world. The availability of big data may be effective in optimum usage of resources while making informed decisions. Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things can positively influence smart decision-making. At present, AI is becoming a need for daily life and organizational procedures as technology has taken great dives in empowering AI advancement. AI contributes to smart cities’ decision making because smart decision-making utilizes a systematic and organized approach to collect data and applies rational decision-making systems rather than using hit and miss, instinct, or generalizing from overall experience.“Smart cities” is a multidimensional notion and has been defined differently by numerous scholars. However, the compulsory prerequisite to being a smart city is to attain sustainable social, environmental, and economic development and improve the living standards of society by utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and AI. The technological aspect of a smart city in the decision-making process can be defined as “a technologically interconnected city” or the use of artificial intelligence with big data to accomplish the intelligence and efficiency in managing the city’s resource. A study about smart decision-making in smart cities using big data introduced a three-layer framework characterizing a smart city as an “instrumented, interconnected, and intelligence”.The past few years have seen rapid growth in urbanization. According to the economic and social affairs body of the United States, approximately 55 percent of the total population in the world live in urban cities. This number is expected to increase to 68% by 2050 (Allam & Dhunny, 2019). The rapid increase in urban population is expected to exert pressure on sustainable environment initiatives leading to higher demand from the large population. To avoid such pressure, there is a need of coming up with smart cities. According to scholars, smart cities will reduce the environmental pressure caused by the increased urban population by 30% (Allam & Dhunny, 2019). A smart city is described as an urban area that depends on information technology to improve its quality of life, grow its economy and implement government policies (Allam & Dhunny, 2019). Past studies have indicated that there exist three layers that are important for the functionality of a smart city. · The technological base of a smart city entails sensor-equipped devices and smart digital phones that help in communication (Zhang et al., 2021). · There are computers that are used in the digital processing of data to deliver favorable solutions (Zhang e ...

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. background
¡ It is not easy to describe cities of the future. There
are lots of ways of interpreting how cities are
going to evolve in the next years.
¡ My own interpretation of the city of the future
goes through a more theoretical vision –
sustainable development and social interaction –
and a more creative one – technology as a
facilitator-.
¡ No one knows what is going to happen in the
next years, but let’s now imagine how future can
be.
5. sustainable development
¡ “greenification” à respect to the environment
via:
¡ electric cars (eMobility)
¡ new systems of electric supply (renewable energy)
¡ new systems of resources allocation
¡ democratization
¡ respect to human rights
¡ investment in human capital (education, health
systems)
¡ respect to integrity and equality between people
6. social interaction
¡ Communities creation à thanks to an upgraded
connectivity.
¡ new social groups based on interaction through new
technologies.
¡ social groups differentiated by interests and values,
regardless geographical or cultural differences.
¡ increase in the use of social media to build cohesion
between different people in different geographical
areas.
¡ Sharing economy à revolution of the economy
¡ online transactions through collaborative platforms
¡ influenced by barter
¡ mutual advantage
8. technology as a facilitator
“No matter what the
problem is, technology is
always part of the solution.”
- Jason Pontin (MIT)
9. technology as a facilitator
¡ Data collection through real-time measurement
devices:
¡ Traffic measure to better choose your itinerary and
take urbanization decisions.
¡ Geolocation and tracking of people’s routines to
make recommendations about lifestyles.
¡ Rise in the application of Big Data
¡ Cyborgs à half human – half robot:
¡ Devices in our clothes connecting body to our
mobile devices or PCs
¡ Implants for medical use
¡ Lifestyle tracking for different uses
10. technology as a facilitator
¡ New ways to move:
¡ electric cars
¡ special and exclusive flying devices
¡ connected bikes
¡ smart homes:
¡ connected homes with mobile devices to control
everything
¡ security robots
¡ smart home appliances:
¡ advice to buy something
¡ advice to clean
¡ advice to renew
11. conclusions
¡ In the city of the future we are all going to be
tracked. Our lifestyle will be object of research
and investigation and politicians will be able to
adapt their decisions according to real statistics.
¡ In the city of the future we are all going to be
more careful with the environment and with the
social causes.
¡ In the city of the future, technology is going to be
an important part in our lives and is going to act
as a facilitator of our life.
