Why do we need smart cities?

What is a smart city? A city where technology helps anticipate your every need. Pre-booked transport based on your personal diary, living spaces that adapt and respond to your routine, and buildings that generate and supply their own energy. Advancements in technology are creating more convenient and sustainable urban environments - welcome to smart city living! 

But, with progress comes challenges. How much personal data are we willing to share? Can our cities' existing infrastructure keep up? And how does the construction industry build the cities of tomorrow with an aging workforce? 

Join Ben Bilsland and Kelly Boorman, RSM UK’s Head of Construction, as they dive into the world of smart cities - exploring how tech is transforming the way we live for the better.
