| Description | Smart cities produce and utilise data to improve the function and experiences of cities. These data are often represented as ‘indicators’ to determine how the city is performing. Some indicators draw on standard urban data that has been around for decades, some draw on new data generated from smart networked ICT technologies, and some indicators that would improve city life don’t yet have reliable sources of data. In this panel we ask: What indicators are most useful measuring KL’s success in its journey towards smart city status? What future indicators would further the potential of smart cities? And what are some of the downsides of indicators? Panelists:
Modelling: Who Should We Emulate? Date: 19th September 2025 (Friday) The spread of smart city ideas, including through expos such as this, are aided by modelling. Modelling refers to taking smart city technologies used in other cities, or other cities entirely, as models to emulate. In Asia, a very limited number of cities are used as models again and again, such as Songdo (Korea), Singapore, and Masdar (UAE). In recent years, digital twinning has become a way to model future versions of current cities, adding further complexity. In this panel we ask: What kinds of cities can KL learn from in plotting its smart city journey? What value do some lesser known smart city cases have for KL, especially when it comes to retrofitting? And what are some of the downsides of modelling in Southeast Asia? Panelists:
Both events are physical, but free to participate via registration.
