By 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in cities. This unprecedented urbanization is both an emblem of our economic and societal progress, and a huge strain on the planet's infrastructure. Thankfully, help is at hand; around the world, intelligence is being infused into the way our cities work.
On Wednesday, May 26, NLC TV (www.NLCTV.org) will release the first in a series of segments highlighting IBM's Smarter Planet initiative.
Michael Littlejohn, Vice President, Smarter Cities Strategy and Business Development, IBM Global Business Services, will kick off the NLC TV series and provide an overview of how cities large and small are providing sustainable prosperity for citizens and businesses by becoming "smarter" and using new technologies to transform their systems to optimize the use of finite resources.
After the launch, watch the archive of this program, share it with colleagues and see subsequent segments at your convenience anytime on NLCTV.org. |
