'Smart Cities' is a catch-all phrase. It mobilises funds and is a critical part of urban plans today.

Hovedinnhold

Energy plays a vital role in ’smart’ projects. If urban smart shifts are sustainable, the energy sector will undergo a massive transition.

  • What redefinition do such transitions imply?
  • Who decides and on what basis?
  • Are smart city energy systems more tech-savvy and people-friendly?
  • Do they improve information flows and infrastructure governance?
  • What makes the difference, what defines this smartness?
  • Which pieces of the puzzle are still missing?

In this seminar, experts will draw on deep insights to discuss where we are going and what changes might get us to smart, sustainably energised cities.
