Presentation Title
Urban Infrastructure Masterplanning-Fully Integrated Efficiency
Abstract
With such a variety of smart technology now being developed it is important to ensure that these systems overlap and compliment the traditional underlying infrastructure systems such as roading, water management, power, and communications. Where possible, it’s also necessary to ensure these technologies maximize sustainable development options without compromising future opportunities.
Meinhardt’s Singapore based Smart Cities Centre of Excellence will present on best practice infrastructure masterplanning methods to demonstrate how engineers can assist urban planners to identify smart city and sustainable opportunities that allow for maximised efficiencies, complimentary technologies and for future proofing fully integrated infrastructure for future, ongoing developments.
