讲座内容简介:
More than half of
the world’s population are now living in urban areas placing city
infrastructures under increasing pressure. Energy and water scarcity, traffic
congestion, waste disposal and safety risks from ageing infrastructures are
just some of the challenges that require different solutions to those
established when cities were operating on a much smaller scale. With the
development of internet and mobile technology, cities and people are more
connected than ever which generated large volume of data. This talk will show
cases of making use of these big data to gain insight of people and places and
to deliver intelligent service and government towards smart cities.
