Smart Cities May 2019: Keynote Speakers

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

“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.
