URBANIZATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE<\/h2>[vc_column_text]The urbanisation of cities, suburbs and regional areas, combined with an ageing demographic are placing significant pressures on global resources, supplies and services. Cities need to plan ahead for these trends by creating foundational pillars that build resiliency and sustainability into regional ecosystems.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1588712183185{padding-right: 5% !important;}”]
Future iQ Predictions<\/h3>[vc_column_text]Driven by need, there will be a convergence of public and private interests, and technology will enable city governments and private industry to combine efforts to better prepare and care for people and the environment.<\/p>\n

Exponential advancements in technology are continuing to expand connectivity of all kinds for city dwellers.<\/h2>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_padding=”80″ bottom_padding=”80″][vc_column width=”1\/4″]
RESILIENCY AND ADAPTABILITY<\/h2>[vc_column_text]Using technology, future cities will integrate smart infrastructure management systems such as water, energy, waste management and transportation to provide improved service to residents and businesses, protect the environment, save costs, and provide healthy environments for all inhabitants.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]
Future iQ Predictions<\/h3>[vc_column_text]Smart infrastructure management systems will require the open collection and use of public and private data. People will accept and embrace this technology.<\/p>\n

As cities adopt and integrate new technology and connectivity, coordination across regions and megaregions involves greater sharing of processes and data, thus requiring increased transparency and consistent protection of citizen assets and privacy.<\/h2>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_padding=”80″ bottom_padding=”80″][vc_column width=”3\/4″]
ECOSYSTEMS AND THE ENVIRONMENT<\/h2>[vc_column_text]To mitigate and reverse the impacts of climate change, GIS mapping will allow cities to incorporate and mimic the natural processes and functions of ecosystems including water, nutrient energy and waste cycles.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]
