Smart Cities Scholarship and Practice
Smart Cities is a movement to improve citizen services, experience, quality of life, and participation in government through the use of "smart" technologies. Information technologies, data analysis, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are all put to work on services and infrastructure in a community to improve peoples' lives. That means that existing policies, processes, career paths, and interactions will all undergo some type of modification. Our organization's goal is to study these transformations and be involved in projects that implement these changes.
