Under the Hood: How Cities are Using Tech
Description:
Tech savvy. Innovative. Efficient. In the past, these words weren’t associated with city government. Fast-forward to today, and cities are on the frontline of leveraging technology to address urban challenges at scale. Bloomberg Associates mapped and interviewed the world’s 30 leading digital cities in “Digital City Tools 2020” to understand how cities are using proven and new technologies in innovative ways to tackle urban challenges. Using a rich mix of official and open data, and anecdotal experience from city tech leaders, “Digital City Tools 2020” dives deep into themes that are essential to the success of leading digital cities today. This panel will feature digital leaders from major city governments for a candid conversation about breakthrough technologies for cities.
