Experts Explore Opportunities Enabled by Smart-City Technology

MIAMI - May 2, 2023 - PRLog -- Smart Cities MIAMI 2023 conference provides a forum for new thinking and the latest technology to connect leaders in academia, industry, and government to examine theories and practices in the smart city field.

Presented by Double C, a fully integrated design, architecture, engineering, and construction services company, the 6^th annual Smart Cities MIAMI conference brought together the private and public sectors to explore climate resilience and the opportunities enabled by smart-city technology.

What is the vision for resilient futures in the face of climate change impacts and other stressors? Building mixed-use development around transportation – Proximity, is the smartest way to achieve resilience, according to Jorge Ponce Dawson, Director of Broadway Malyan Madrid.

The future is now. Smart Cities MIAMI is the forum that explores smart cities practices already in place, introduces new inventions, breakthroughs, and technologies. From comparing the practices of Miami and Medellin to new materials, additive manufacturing, and AI. Some examples include a cementitious mix design and 3D printers for the construction industry both of which are being implemented by Double C. Alvaro Martinez, P.E., S. I., Double C, regional vice president, shared how technology can be used to reduce and recycle material waste in large projects.

Over 100 people attended the two-day conference that was co-hosted by the University of Miami School of Architecture and the Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC) in partnership with the Climate Resilience Academy. "The conference is twofold: To showcase the new thinking and technology, but it's also important to connect the industry and government. So, it's also an outreach project," concluded Rodolphe el-Khoury, dean of the School of Architecture.
