REPORT: Smart Technologies

  Smart Technologies: can they meet London’s environmental challenges? asked Maged Hanna (Head of Energy Masterplanning, AECOM), Zoe Green (Head of Smart Cities, PwC) and Sam Ibbott (Head of Smart Cities, Environmental Industries Commission) at this Society talk held at Make Architects offices in Cleveland Street. The speakers looked at some of the ways technology can improve the efficiency of services and be more responsive to the future of London’s needs, and examined the opportunities presented, looking particularly at ways in which disparate stakeholders might be involved in the process, and sharing best practice, both in London and beyond.
