Smart Cities: Carbon Footprints on Smart Pavements

Will “smart cities” encourage more sustainable behaviours in cities? And what are the risks? In our second cities episode, we focus on how IoT affects the everyday experiences of those who live and work in cities, discussing everything from smart homes and driverless vehicles, to buying nappies and upgrading e-bike firmware. Our expert guests considering these issues and their sustainability are Dr. Anthony Townsend, author of both 'Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers and the Quest for A New Utopia' and 'Ghost Road: Beyond the Driverless Car', and Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, author of ‘Smarter Homes: How Technology Will Change Your Home Life' and initiator of the Low Carbon Design Institute.
