People Power: Sourcing Smart City Success Through Incentivization

Smart Cities are more than just sensors ushering you to an available parking space, standby street lights, or drones monitoring air quality. Citizens are the most important component in the smart cities of the future. We need their participation in order to collect data, track movement, share knowledge, and most importantly, resources. All of this is possible in the next few decades, but an important first step is to figure out how to incentivize citizens to get on board.

Consumers Expect EVs, Hyperloops, & Home Robots By 2030, According To Dassault Systemes

Dassault Systèmes and CITE Research sent us the findings of a survey for understanding how consumers expect technology to impact their lives by the year 2030. The survey focused on home, travel, health, and retail.

The study shows consumers expect Hyperloops, fully connected smart home systems, mobile payments, and personalized preventive health plans, among other things.
