Smart Cities and Urban Development

By 2050, the world's population is expected to reach nine billion, with over two thirds of people living in cities.
 
NEW YORK - April 28, 2017 - PRLog -- Sustainability experts will convene at the German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI) (http://www.germaninnovation.org/)in New York to discuss future solutions for urban systems.

Urbanization, globalization, demographic and climate change are continually placing higher demands on our cities. In order to achieve the goal of sustainable smart cities, strong collaborations in research and technology are critical. For this reason, six German urban research networks are building partnerships in the US to develop innovative solutions and joint projects for resource-efficient and climate-adapted cities of the future. The GCRI is inviting American researchers, urban planners, architects, decision-makers, municipal authorities and representatives from the private sector to participate and share their ideas to build the cities of tomorrow.
