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 at this exclusive Webinar 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?
