"The future of cities is really something that is in our power to shape it if we are really getting involved."
Are you interested in how technology and non-technology fuses in an ideal urban future? What do you think about hard and soft infrastructure? How can we get more involved in the future of cities?
Interview with Junaid Islam, a secure communication expert. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, greenery as a crucial element, getting involved, hard and soft infrastructure, and many more.
Junaid Islam has 35 years of experience developing network protocols from MPLS routing for global Internet communications in the 90s to interference aware routing for NASA’s upcoming Artemis Moon mission. Over the past few years Junaid has focused on ensuring data is secure as it moves from sensors and imaging systems to AI based resource management programs in Smart Cities.
