In today’s technology-driven world, building a better, safer and “smarter” city goes hand-in-hand with the development of innovative infrastructure and urban technologies. As the most populous city in the United States, New York City is at the forefront of this movement, dreaming up unique solutions to urban issues ranging from cyber security to the future of employment.
This year, from May 3-6, it will host Smart Cities NYC ’17: Powered by People, a “first of its kind” conference and expo that will focus on the intersection of technology and urban life, as well as the importance of citizen participation in urban and civic innovation around the world.
