Will smart cities make us sustainable?

When: 18 August, 2020

What: Since the smart city emerged as an approach to urban development in the 1990s, it has become highly popular throughout the world.

Drawing on field work from three EU Lighthouse projects – Stavanger, Nottingham and Stockholm – we examine how smart city initiatives have affected urban energy sustainability.
