Kalamunda to go Dgitial
The City is developing its first Smart City Digital Strategy and wants to hear from you.
‘Smart City’ simply means an area (such as a city) that uses different types of digital technologies to manage its assets and resources efficiently. Often these technologies will be integrated and will also involve streamlined data collection systems. Cities globally and locally are adopting the Smart City concept.
In conjunction with Symphony3, the City will be holding a series of workshops to help us to understand:
- what defines a Smart City;
- envision what our City will look like in 30 years; and
- how digital technology will shape the way we work, play and live.
Three workshops targeting the general community, business and youth sectors will be held in December. We encourage everyone to come along to the workshops, learn about Smart Cities and have a say.
