Transformer la Ville
Bonjour,
Ici, je poste et commente des articles - principalement en anglais et en français - que je trouve intéressants et utiles pour illustrer la façon dont les villes se transforment pour devenir "intelligentes".
Plus spécifiquement, je recherche des articles qui traitent de la manière dont les villes travaillent à l’interne en tant que municipalités, à l’échelle régionale et nationale, avec les opérateurs de services, avec les fournisseurs de solutions logicielles (Apps) et hardware (IoT) ... pour surmonter les obstacles, gagner en efficacité et offrir une valeur réelle à leurs habitants et à leurs visiteurs.
Si vous souhaitez me proposer un article que vous avez trouvé pertinent sur ce sujet, veuillez me l’envoyer et je le publierai dans ce blog. Mon adresse e-mail est : jonathan.woods@eukalypton.com
