“A smart and sustainable city, balancing safety, functionality, and aesthetic, harnesses technology to improve public safety, ensure efficient services, and minimize environmental impact. It features innovative urban planning that blends historical heritage with modern design, fostering a sense of community and enhancing the quality of life. Through open data and efficient planning of resources, it manages public transport systems that adapt to real-time conditions, reducing congestion and enhancing mobility. A well-orchestrated public transport not only serves as the city’s circulatory system, but also connects humans, bringing them together, fostering interactions, making it easier to meet, interact, and feel a sense of community. For me, a smart city It’s a city that provides a safe, efficient, and pleasing environment for a resilient, sustainable future,” says panelist Doru Chirica, Co-Founder & CEO at tranzy.ai.
