Gordon Feller will present at the Gaining Ground Summit at 11:40 a.m. October 5 in the SFU Woodwards, Wong Theatre in Vancouver, Canada. As Feller explained on a phone call via WebEx that his presentation, Smart+Connected Communities: The Race for Green City Bragging Rights, addresses the misconception that a smart city is tomorrow, when in fact it is happening today. Feller would know. His experiences and conversations run deep with worldwide city leaders regarding implementation of information and communication technologies to solve urban environmental problems.
His Vancouver presentation will cover the following:
- Smart connected cities are happening now. Look around and review the lessons learned from sustainable urban development.
- Energy efficiency better suited for 21st century solutions.
- Better investment of stimulus dollars to ensure better, smarter, faster way to build infrastructure.
- Economic sustainability providing a win-win for constituents and political leaders.
My favorite part, Feller provides real world examples of smart connected cities that are implementing energy, water and transport solutions. These success stories bring the presentation full circle that smart connected cities are happening now. Feller will also present at the upcoming EcoDistrict Summit in Portland, Oregon and the Climate Dialogue International Conference in Hong Kong.
