Is New York A Smart City?

As we all know, Brooklyn, and New York City for that matter, is growing and changing in ways that those who were here before us would never have imagined. Gentrification is causing new tensions. New technologies are bringing jobs to some and displacing others. Bike and car sharing programs are popping up all over the city. Drones are flying around Prospect Park. And new apps are arriving daily to show us where to eat, shop, drink, and find love.

But where are we talking about how this impacts us all? Where can we hear from the City of New York, Microsoft, CityMD, and other places from around the globe about how technologies are changing our world in an attempt to make it safer, smarter, more resilient and inclusive?

At Smart Cities NYC on the Brooklyn Navy Yard. And it happens May 3rd to the 6th. The event, whose tag line is “Powered by People”, is bringing together the biggest names in technology and government, from Dan Doctoroff of Sidewalk Labs (Google) to Toni Townes-Whitley of Microsoft, to Alicia Glen the Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development for the City of New York, you’re not going to find a denser, more star-studded event that talks about technology, society, and the government.

Attendees will be able to mingle with leaders, ride around in autonomous vehicles, and watch as thought leaders, tech mavens, and civic representatives debate how we shape our evolving urban environments. May 3rd to the 6th, the Brooklyn Navy Yard will transform into a showcase and conversation space to explore how technology impacts our cities, and we want you to be there.
