To overcome their challenges and compete on the world's stage, cities need to become smarter - more efficient, more sustainable, more liveable. See how the journey has already begun in several cities worldwide, and learn about 5 key success factors based on real world experience.
Racial Segregation in Urban America, post-WWII AmericaEric Beckman
History and implications of racial segregations in post-WWII American cities. Explains the dynamics that created overwhelmingly white suburban areas and restricted people of color to decaying urban cores. Our doughnut cities are no accident. Government aided the many at the expense of the few. Our public policies reinforced racist attitudes, reaffirming and reinventing American whiteness.

On 6 and 7 June 2013, André Bouffioux, CEO of Siemens Belgium-Luxembourg, presented our Siemens’ view on how Smart Cities will develop and generate new business. He made this presentation during the European Young Innovator Forum’s unique Unconvention in Brussels, where young Europeans with innovative ideas and those who will inspire, guide and support them, were brought together.
This presentation on Introduction to Statistics helps Engineering students to review the fundamental topics of statistics. It is according tl syllabus of Institute of Engineering (IOE) but is similar to that of almost all the engineering colleges.
India’s recent stand on Smart City Development and involvement of various high income countries; initiates the talk of ideal variables for smart city evolution by our own standards. With a vision of Urban Governance for general livability, it becomes imperative to study these parameters and ensure the evolution of our own concept of a Smart City. Our spatial planning models based on unique factors such as Human Diversity, Physical-Social networks and ICT impact on urban fabric, City resilience, etc. make it all the more interesting to evolve a blueprint for Planning a Smart City.
The paper centers the infrastructural developments for the Smart Urban Development in India. The research helps us arrive at a general line of action for Urban Planning implications catering to the Infrastructure Sector, amongst others; thus affecting environmental, social and economic structure significantly. The study further finds the scope of progress, encouraged from various government policies for successful implementation of Smart City Development. It also allows a peek into future scenario of improvements and deliberations particular to Indian standards in consideration with the scenario of other countries.
Future of Cities: Insights from Multiple Expert Discussions Around the World
Following on from the main 2015 Future Agenda programme, last year we undertook additional Future of Cities events in Singapore, Beirut and Guayaquil. Exploring not only key current challenges and aspirations but also emerging issues, the insights from these and other discussions have all now been synthesized into a single summary. This document brings together views from a wide range of experts from the 2016 workshops as well as previous events in London, Vienna, Dubai, Delhi and Christchurch. Together it provides an overview of three common challenges, three shared ambitions and three emerging concerns that were highlighted in our multiple discussions.
Given the complex, interconnected nature of the drivers of change in cities, it is no surprise that there are hundreds of different reports already published exploring future trends either globally or locally. While this summary may overlap with a number of these reports, it is not intended to be a single answer to the future cities question. Rather it is, we hope, a mapping of the landscape, highlighting the core issues raised for today and tomorrow and pointing to potential areas for further exploration.
As we go forward with further workshops during 2017 planned in London, Toronto, Dubai and Mumbai, we will be delving deeper into some of the key issues, challenging assumptions and hopefully identify new approaches and sources of innovation. We will also be sharing a full report that adds extra context and detail gained from both the insights shared to date and the new ones added during 2017.
If you would like to join in some of the forthcoming events, do let us know. Equally if you have any comments and feedback on the views in this summary, please do feel free add them into the mix via slide-share, linked-in, twitter or email. This is an initial summary that will have gaps and alternative views that may well need modification in order to better represent a global view. We thank all those who have given up time to contribute to the workshops to date and to all those will be adding in their views going forward.

More Electric:
Our world is becoming More Electric. Almost everything we interact with today is either already electric or becoming electric. Think about it. From the time you start your day in the morning to the time you finish your day – your home, your car, your work, your devices, your entertainment – almost everything is electric. Imagine the energy needed to power this. Electricity consumption will increase by 80% in next 25 years
More Connected: Our lives are also becoming more connected. The Internet has already transformed the way we live, work and play. Now the Connected Things is going to take this to a brand new level. 50 billion things connected in the next 5 years.
More Distributed: With such a widespread electrification and connectivity, energy models need rethinking as well. Which is why the generation of power needs to be closer to users. Distributed Energy is rapidly evolving globally. This is positive energy – renewable. In 2014 , Renewables overtook fossil fuels in investment value, with $295bn invested in renewables compared to $289bn invested in fossil fuels. And it is getting cheaper to do this.
More Efficient: When our world is more electric, more connected and more distributed, new opportunities emerge and allows us to tap into even more efficiency – in industrial processes, in the energy value chain, in buildings, in transportation, in the global supply chain and even in the comfort and peace-of-mind of our homes.
With more than $18 billion in M&A activity in the first half of last year alone, the colocation industry is riding the bubble of rapid growth. Colocation data center providers are being evaluated by a wide range of investors, with varying experience and perspectives. Understanding the evaluation criteria is a critical competency for attracting the right type of investor and financial commitment for your colocation business and this is why we have invited today’s speaker to present.

A Practical Guide to Ensuring Business Continuity and High Performance in Hea...Schneider Electric
Within healthcare facilities, high availability of systems is a key influencer of revenue and patient safety and satisfaction. Three important critical success factors need to be addressed in order to achieve safety and availability goals. These include exceeding the facility’s level of regulatory compliance, a linking of business benefits to the maintenance of a safe and an “always on” power and ventilation environment, and a sensible approach to technology upgrades that includes new strategies for “selling” technological improvements to executives. This reference guide offers recommendations for identifying and addressing each of these issues.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.
