Our SMART CITIES reflect the convergence of data and energy in architectural typologies that are DISRUPTIVE but POSITIVE

Join our data analysis expert Prof Iain MacDonald to discover
* How do non-cultural entities will shape our experience of the city and the pervasiveness of ‘sentience’ as sensors become ubiquitous?
* How does this inform our meta urban planning strategies ie digital real estate and the sentient and sensual city invested with ‘new and unexpected functionalities and meanings.’?
* Is modernism re-emerging as big data? wherein machine learning and artificial intelligence join than human aesthetic, taste and spatial requirements as determining factors?

Explore deeper questions like
– Is smartness not just about creativity?
– Is the era of the industrial city not over but rather transforming,
re-tooling, with the disruptive potential of Industry 4.0, countering the cultural and economic ‘tunnel’ effect?
– Wiith growing pressure to release industrial land, particularly near existing or proposed public transport nodes, and a general restriction on supply, do we need new typologies eg ‘Smart Shed’ and new allocations for industry in locations that fit Industry 4.0 requirements?
