    “Smart City” is a concept of a modern city, where a bunch of different things like pollution or traffic density can be put into data, collected and evaluated, so that we can have quick access to the status of a whole city.

    Things to use this for: avoiding bad traffic, planning new city projects like bridges or even looking where you can save money on a city budget.

    Currently there’s quite a few cities and projects who act as case studies but this is all preparation, we still need lots of science until we can make use of the full potential of this idea.

      There’s lots of other computer science topics I know very well (AIs being one of them funnily enough) but even I would zone out if you didn’t bring a little attendance present and a live demonstration when I need to listen to you explain it.
