Nous avons le regret de vous annoncer que Katja Schechtner ne pourra pas animer ce séminaire. Ce dernier est donc annulé.
Abstract
We live in a data rich world. So we are told. We also live in a people rich world – as we can see whenever we step onto the crowded streets of Jakarta, Manila and Bangkok. Expectations are that Big Data & Urban Technologies will leapfrog Asian cities from the slum riddled Middle Ages to livable Smart Cities of the future. In this talk we will explore the current state of play in Asia and analyze future trends in urban transport: from data sets to analytics to policies.
