Technology & data has begun to be embedded in the fundamental structure & processes of the cities & states in which we live. Smart cities are looking to incorporate data & technology that improve the quality of life for their residents & help governments be more efficient. But what does that mean & how can it be meaningful to you? Well explore practical, real-life ways that data science, internet of things (IoT), & open data are being used to help cities become more livable & modern that range from predictive analytics, API feeds of real-time public data, & connected sensors to provide block-by-block insights. More importantly, well discuss how it matters to residents & visitors to the city.
