Virtual Summit on

Powering Urban Transformation with Technology: A Holistic Approach to Smart Cities

17 September 2020 | 14:30 PM – 18:00 PM (IST)

About Summit

Cities have been the hotspot of innovation and technology has always been used to make the lives of the city dwellers better. Today, however, cities are overburdened, overcrowded and are increasingly becoming hubs of chaos. It is crucial city authorities plan, design, construct, govern and manage city development holistically to make cities an ideal destination where people want to live, work and play.

The aim of the summit is to discuss on how cities should use geospatial, engineering (CAD and BIM) and emerging technologies to build digitally empowered societies that will help realize “India’s trillion-dollar digital opportunity”.

Topics of Discussion

Smart Urban Design
Smart Infrastructure Development
Data for Smart Cities
City as a Platform
