In the face of the climate crisis, cities stand at the forefront of both challenge and opportunity. This masterclass explores the transformative role of Smart Cities in addressing climate change while enhancing urban habitability and liveability. By leveraging technology, data, and human-centred design, cities mitigate environmental impacts and improve the quality of life for citizens.
Building truly sustainable and liveable cities requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from urban planning, engineering, governance, environmental science, and social innovation. This integration ensures that smart technologies align with the broader goals of urban resilience, carbon reduction, and equitable development.
This masterclass highlights how collaboration across disciplines fosters intelligent infrastructure, adaptive urban design, and citizen-centric solutions. It also showcases how the Smart City paradigm goes beyond technology, focusing on people and the planet to create sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant urban futures.
You can lead the way in building cities prepared for the challenges of climate change! Discover the power of multidisciplinary innovation in smart cities and see how these principles are embedded in the Master's in Global Smart City Management at ZIGURAT Institute of Technology.
