Smart City Futures - 23rd july 2009 The Lowry Salford Manchester
A lack of transparency and a silo mentality had resulted in an environmental, political and economic meltdown.
Old models and accepted truths are becoming irrelevant and outmoded in a changing and connected world
New challenges call for new solutions
We
believe that Universities should act as a catalyst of change and have
decided to practice what we preach by trying something new
Smart
City Futures will challenge traditional conference dynamics and
experiment with new formats more in tune with the connected world
Top down monologue will be replaced with non hierarchical dialogue and collaborative ideas generation
Gone the assumptions about the communities we claim to serve, replaced
by opportunities for those communities to offer their unmoderated and
uncensored opinions via the live webcast
Smart City Futures
is a gathering of Global leaders from business, public service and
research. We will convene to share knowledge, experience, challenges
and failures and to explore collaborative solutions Smart City Futures
marks the end of a full year packed with partner events [find out more here]
