The next-generation city: Resilient, smart and sustainable

As world leaders gather in Paris to discuss climate change and measures to control global warming, it is becoming clear that cities will bear considerable responsibility in implementing proposed solutions and management strategies, writes Jennifer Baljko in an opinion piece on Devex. Indeed, cities across the developed world and in emerging economies are already positioning themselves to be more climate resilient, competitive, sustainable and, essentially, smarter.





The general concept of smart city has evolved quite a bit over the years. “In order for cities to become and remain smart in a real sense, they will not only have to be able to learn and use technology, but also adapt and innovate,” said Dulal.
