Smart Cities Council Australia New Zealand (SCCANZ) announced today that leading professional services company Jacobs had joined the peak body to support action and investment in digital solutions that advance sustainability outcomes in our cities, towns and communities.
The SCCANZ will host the Future of Place Summit in August in Brisbane. Among other urban change makers sharing their work on the relationships between people, place, technology and data is Professor Nico Larco - Director at the Portland Or based Urbanism Next Centre at the University of Oregon.
We believe that building Digital Twin capability can be one of the most powerful investments to bring our data to life and generate insights that will benefit people, planet and prosperity like never seen before. As such, SCCANZ is launching the 2021 Digital Twin Challenge - an 18 month program of activities focused around ten government projects, in collaboration with the private sector and Academia.
We view the Australia New Zealand region as the global epicentre for smart cities innovation, action and investment. Members of SCCANZ are primed, and have formed the We Build Smart Cities Alliance, to support their national and international peers.
