IoT is playing an increasingly crucial role in the development and evolution of smart cities. By utilising IoT sensors, devices and data, cities can not only improve their infrastructure but also make it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly space for all.
On the 11th July at Messagemaker in Redhill, the Smart Environment Forum will be exploring this topic of IoT and Smart Cities and how we can maximise the technology involved and promote its positive implications within an ITS framework.
We will feature a highly varied line-up including speakers from Galliford Try and Coventry City Council, as well as Richard Gonzalez of Sensor IT and Alistair Gollop, of ITS Now providing their expert insight into IoT and its significance.
