Why Is Rapid Urbanization a Global Challenge?

one of the most important development challenges of the 21st century."

fuel sustainable growth and enhance quality of life, through participatory governance."
Peter Nijkamp, President of the Governing Board of the Netherlands Research Council (NWO)
Is Data the Raw Material of Smart Sustainable Cities?

"After all, information is the currency of this digital age.
The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight."
Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HP)
Why Is Open Data Important for the Development of Smart Sustainable Cities?

"In smart cities, open data represents a powerful tool to facilitate open innovation and to foster urban innovation.
As a result, the use of open data strengthens the ecosystem of smart city solutions."
Bart Gorynski, Managing Director of bee smart city
How Blockchain Technology Can Serve?

"The blockchain can serve as the public records repository for whole societies, including the registry of all documents, identities, and assets.
In this system, all properties could become smart property; this is the notion of encoding every asset to the blockchain."
Melanie Swan, Philosopher and Economic Theorist
When Will We Get It?

"Distributed ledger technology does have the potential to be disruptive of certain business models
in terms of making them lower cost, more efficient and less risky. We won´t get there overnight, but we will get there."
Blythe Masters, CEO of Digital Assets Holding
