This is the third video segment from a conference at Princeton University on academic “Smart Cities” research and its potential relevance to New Jersey’s urban centers. 

In this segment, representatives from a varied group of companies discuss their progress in developing innovative solutions to a city’s energy, infrastructure, water, waste, and public transportation needs.  

“Building the Future: New Technological Frontiers in Cities” was a showcase of New Jersey university research regarding integrating urban infrastructure with networked sensors, data analytics, and other novel technologies to improve quality of life, resiliency and sustainability in urban environments. 

A key objective of the day was identifying new opportunities for collaboration between universities, industry, foundations, and government in this important field.

The multi-institutional conference was organized by Princeton’s Office of Corporate Engagement and Foundation Relations and the Metropolis Project, with support from Lyft. It was held on May 6, 2019.
