Show Notes
Samuel Ariaratnam, professor and program chair of construction engineering, Arizona State University, explains how current smart cities projects are simply adopting band aide solutions in reaction to failing infrastructure, but they must become more proactive. He discusses using the IoT (Internet of Things) along with sensors and mapping in underground infrastructure to help improve a city's bottomline, while managing a limited budget.
