He will discuss the pros and cons of the ‘smart city’ and examples of relevant technologies and programmes in various cities – including Auckland – will be compared. Professor Chong will also outline his current research on smart mobility, which is one of the key technologies for the future ‘smart city’, and its commercial applications.
