What is a smart city? Is Dublin one? And what’s different about them? Ruth Freeman, director of Research for Society at Research Ireland, joins Adrian on this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show. A smart city is an urban area that uses technology and data to improve the quality of life for its citizens, increase the efficiency of city services, and promote sustainable development. It integrates digital systems like the internet of things to collect and analyse real-time data, which helps optimize everything from transportation and energy use to public safety and waste management.
