Episode description

Smart cities are nice, but what about smart communities?

By focusing on people who live in cities, the same technology could be used to transform public spaces and improve daily lives. For instance, warnings could be sent to oncoming vehicles about pedestrians in the crosswalk. Or pedestrians could be alerted to vehicles approaching at high speed. Parents could even have peace of mind knowing their local park is protected with real-time monitoring.

With the right technology partner, there are so many opportunities to make communities safer, smarter, and more connected. In this podcast, we explore what a smart community encompasses, the benefits for both citizens and cities, and the technology partnerships that go into making this all possible.

Join us as we explore these ideas with:
