Join us as we welcome SNAAP Transportation as a North American member. SNAAP has developed a transformational personal rapid transportation solution, (PRT) that utilizes an elevated and dedicated ribbonway network with battery powered and solar-charged, single occupant mobility pods. “Mobility is a critical urban constraint, and having solutions that bring an entirely new approach to areas where thinking is typically constrained by the status quo is important for SCC and particularly our public sector members and partners," said Corey Gray, President of Smart Cities Council, on meeting Andrew J. Cary, Founder of SNAAP. https://lnkd.in/ejG34pbe #UrbanMobility #Mobility #JoinUs

We strongly recommend this program to our members and network. #JoinUs

?? Smart Cities Beyond Urban Centers: The Future of Regional Communities ?? Did you know that smaller cities, towns, and rural areas with populations under 25,000 make up the majority of municipal areas globally? Yet, they often face limited resources, economic disparities, and digital connectivity gaps compared to urban centers. In this episode of the Smart Cities Council podcast with John Brooks, we explore the opportunities and challenges of regional communities—and how smart city solutions can help bridge the gap. ?? Key insights: ?? Why digital connectivity is critical for smaller towns ??? The evolving definition of "smart cities" vs. "smart communities" ?? How emerging technologies can empower rural areas ??? The role of governments vs. individual initiatives in smart city development ??? The biggest challenges and untapped potential of regional communities Smaller communities are just as crucial to the future of smart cities—and this episode uncovers how they can thrive in the digital age. ?? ??

“Building a program around tech and investment that starts with Smart Cities Summit North America in early May and then circles back to Deep Tech Week Dubai in September provides a logical narrative and opportunity for engagement for MDCC and SCC’s global network. Dubai is the launching pad for so much investment across the Middle East and greatly supported by free trade zones, like IFZA”, explained, MDCC cofounder, Yolanda Perez. Join Miami-Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Smart Cities Council in San Francisco on May 7-8. Media Release: https://lnkd.in/gf-97bx9 #SmartCities #TechInvestment #Innovation #Dubai #Miami

I am so looking forward to joining the #SmartBuildings panel with Pearl Li Ng GAICD, Harman Singh and Andrew Morrison to discuss energy efficiency, resource optimisation, the integration of renewable energy, predictive maintenance, data-driven decision making and the critical role of standards, security and data governance. Buildings and infrastructure in Australia are directly responsible for nearly one-third of total carbon emissions, with buildings alone contributing around 10% of total emissions through operational energy use (NABERS). Smart buildings, smart precincts and cities have a crucial role to play in decarbonizing the built environment, with interconnected systems sharing data and resources to optimise performance, sustainability and resilience. Which buildings, precincts or cities are setting the standard? Are there any exciting smart building projects you’re following? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and register now to join us for this conversation on the future of our built environment. #SmartBuildings #Sustainability #FutureOfCities #NetZero GHD
