The concept of the Smart City has been discussed for more than a decade now, and both the promises and expectations have been high. Around the world thousands of cities – and their residents – have been transforming the way that they work, with varying degrees of success. But what makes some cities successful and other cities not? Which services deliver real value to people, and which ones are technical ego-projects? We have learned a lot, and the technical landscape has changed – what was new then is now mature. In its new series of Smart City webinars, Huawei experts, along with clients and partners, will share their insights, experiences, and sometimes just their opinions on how we can continue to move forward in creating cities the serve the needs of everyone.
How can we align existing services to make them more effective and more efficient? Session 5 explores this question.

Technology doesn’t come cheap. So if we’re going to invest, what can we expect in return? Which services can be deployed swiftly? What’s the ROI? In this 3rd webinar on Smart Cities, we will touch upon on the Value of Being Smart.
We keep talking about being a Smart City, but how would I know? What’s the proof that we are being smart? What are the behaviours or characteristics of a Smart City?
Is the concept of a “Smart” City still relevant? After more than a decade of talking about Smart City projects shouldn’t we already be smart, and if not, is being smart really all that important?
