Robert’s seminar will centre around the question of ‘what critical infrastructure do I need to support my smart city project?’

Robert will discuss:

• The current typical smart city applications as well as forecasting future applications

• What happens when things go wrong in ICT and Smart Cities, whilst delving into some case study examples

• How data centres have previously been designed and their cost, comparing this with the need for new projects

• What is meant by cloud storage and co-location and when to use these technologies, as well as an explanation of hybrid IT

• Budgeting and savings with ICT in Smart Cities and the need for resilience
