GEOG 111C - SMART GREEN CITIES - Spring 2023
Smart Cities promote social and human capital, support a more competitive economy, expand participation in government, increase access to opportunities, and protect natural resources. Smart mobility including self-driving cars can help us save lives, decrease pollutant emissions, and use resources in a sustainable way. What technologies are smart and can they achieve sustainable pathways? Which cities have done this and how? Are Smart Cities sustainable and resilient? This course will answer these questions by examining real-life experiments, review current technologies, and explore future developments using scientific papers, popular press, and online media. Students also learn about the wide variety of expertise from different fields that are needed to ultimately achieve the Smart Green City vision.
