Today’s cities are experiencing significant transition – the urbanization. This urbanization is an unstoppable phenomenon. According to United Nations forecasts, the proportion of the human population residing in cities is expected to grow to nearly 60 percent by 2030 and to almost 70 percent by 2050.
To tackle the challenges arising from urbanization, around 102 smart city initiatives worldwide have been undertaken. Just name a few: the Amsterdam Smart City initiative, Yokohama Smart City Project in Japan, Guangzhou Knowledge City in China, Songdo IBD Smart City, and Masdar City.
As well, the investment on Smart Cities is going to skyrocket. It is essential that cities connect to share best practices and explore together in becoming pathfinders for this new wave of technologies and services.
With these developments and know-how, we cordially invite you to Shanghai, the financial center of China to participate in this conference which will allow you to meet with 200+ decision makers and senior executives from cities, local governments, smart technology companies.
