Climate Change and Environmental Technology Special Interest Group (ETSIG) Event: Uncertain Times – Smart Cities and Resilience Webinar
Smart cities can be more resilient – or less - to natural and man-made disasters. Resilience can be increased through using “smart” technologies to mitigate and respond to climate change challenges, disasters, and other unforeseen shocks like the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, resilience can also be reduced where smart technologies enable new modes of failure. This talk will review the potential pros and cons.
