Smart Cities Q&A - LESSONS ALONG THE SMART CITY JOURNEY

Join us for this online meeting with one of the ZOOM GLOBAL SMART CITIES members.
In this Q&A session, you will have the chance to understand and debate the true power behind smart cities and what it takes, from the administration side, to move forward towards an impactful smart city project supported on leadership and strategy.

James Noakes recently joined Belfast City Council as a City Innovation Broker working on the city’s exciting smart city programme and supporting the £350m Belfast City Deal.
Prior to this, for several years, he was an Assistant Mayor of Liverpool with responsibility for city services focusing on waste, transport, infrastructure, and grounds maintenance including Liverpool’s smart city programme.
He oversaw £2bn in infrastructure investment and brought a range of innovative approaches to the city. James is a frequent international speaker and writer on environment, sustainability, smart city and Internet of Things issues.
He is a practitioner member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).
James is always interested to hear from those engaged in sustainability, technology, environment, smart cities, urban regeneration, service design or travel/transport.

Smart Israel

Smart Israel

Israel is an amazing country, full of creativeness and innovation and also lots of challenges because of the political and tense situation within the region. But that region has always been tense and problematic so, despite that, it is possible to see people from all believing’s, colors, races, and social positions, enjoying life and sharing the same space in a peaceful way.

If there is a smart country ranking, Israel would be definitely in the first positions and the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are also featured for different reasons of course. Tel Aviv is young and vibrant, full of creativeness, freedom, party, fashion and lifestyle. Jerusalem is the center of the religious world with the confluence of thousands of pilgrims, tourists, scholars, and researchers from all over the world.

In this episode I talked with one of my Israeli friends that are working with smart cities in the country, Eddie Bet Hazavdi used to work in the Minister of Energy where he was head of the Department of Energy Conservation and Smart Cities.
