Creating smart infrastructure and cities
Creating smart infrastructure and cities explores how we can reimagine urban futures: cities that work for people and planet. It focuses on transforming existing urban environments to be more liveable, inclusive, and resilient. Through integrated approaches to infrastructure, nature, technology, and governance, we aim to shape cities that are people-centred, sustainable, and prepared for future challenges.
