Event Description
Cities will have a major role dealing with the critical challenges of the 21st century: climate change and other environmental threats; high consumption of non-renewable resources; economic development; growing populations; and aging infrastructures. Technology is setting a new landscape of possibilities for fostering these improvements and making cities more accessible, manageable, communicative, and citizen minded.
To help convene a global community to face these challenges, the World Bank and partners hosted hundreds of stakeholders - including city and municipal leaders, urban and energy specialists, and technologists - at CitiSense 2013 in Barcelona on 17-18 November 2013. CitiSense 2013 preceded the 2013 Smart City Expo World Congress, which convened thousands of visitors, speakers, and experts sharing the latest innovations for cities.
