About the Technical Committee

Smart Cities

The Smart Cities Technical Committee addresses the management and application of technologies that contribute to more connected, sustainable, efficient, and people-centered urban environments.

The committee provides a forum for interdisciplinary exchange on the relationship between technology, urban systems, organizations, public institutions, and communities. Its scope emphasizes the management and governance dimensions of smart-city development rather than technology in isolation.
