Smart City Expo day 1

Whilst i didn’t get the chance to attend all of the sessions today i was very impressed with those i did attend. I did enjoy the opening session – A Conversation with Minister Takuya Hirai: a New Digitalization Strategy for Japan – and in particular their plans for a Digital Agency and the principles they put forward.

The second session if found very insightful was – How can Micro-mobility Support a Green and Sustainable Recovery? – covering the Seat Mo project in Barcelona.

Finally, there were a number of discussion with public sector representatives discussing the challenges and opportunities going forward post Covid19. Listening to the comments made it may well be that the pandemic resets a lot of the views of smart city projects and refocus their priorities.
