By 2050, over 70 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities. Challenges related to population density, water supply, climate change, aging infrastructure, traffic congestion, and natural and man-made hazards (such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and terrorist acts) amplify the risk and threaten the quality of life of urban residents. The next TigerTalks in the City panel discussion will feature Princeton faculty and staff on the topic of “Smart Solutions for Smart Cities”.
Princeton’s Chief Information Officer will lead a discussion on systems stability, privacy, security and implementation in a highly inter-connected
IoT world. Faculty from the Department of Civil and Engineering and the School of Architecture will share research on how to protect cities from natural disasters, make buildings more energy efficient and inviting through new materials and applications, and preserve public spaces in the face of substantially greater population densities.
