By 2050 over 2,5 billion people are predicted to live in cities. How can our roads, public transport systems and our nerves sustain this? As cities keep growing and infrastructure suffers, can IoT and data help? A smart city can leverage data sources, from vehicle movement to energy use and water distribution. If you put all this information into context, city planners and citizens alike can make better decisions. Are you ready to learn how cities can become smarter? In this episode, we discuss the importance of data in creating efficient and effective city services. Marek Suchocki from Autodesk shares his insights into the benefits of having structured and integrated data sets and why sharing data with the right people can lead to smarter cities. We also address the crucial issue of data security. Join us as we explore the world of smart cities and discover what it takes to make them a reality. #smartcity #digitalconstruction #bim #wetalkiot Summary of this week's episode: 03:30 Who is Autodesk? 06:28 What makes a city smart? 09:00 The challenge: valuable data 12:28 The benefits of open data 15:35 Digital transformation in the AEC industry 19:39 The benefit of IoT sensors for BIM 20:35 Resources are a challenge for the AEC industry 22:46 Rapid energy modelling 25:54 Inspiring, smart city projects 32:18 Data integration and standards Show notes: Marek Suchocki: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suchocki/ https://www.autodesk.com/solutions/architecture-engineering-construction/smart-cities https://constructionblog.autodesk.com/2023-construction-trends/ https://constructionblog.autodesk.com/3-megatrends-construction/ UN-Report on megacities: https://www.un.org/en/desa/around-25-billion-more-people-will-be-living-cities-2050-projects-new-un-report About Avnet Silica: This podcast is brought to you by Avnet Silica - The Engineers of Evolution.
