Nel quadro delle iniziative europee per le smart cities a Ecomondo, la sessione “Smart Circular Cities” riunisce ricerca e industria: tra i protagonisti del dibattito su monitoraggio urbano e AI interviene Marco Pistore per la Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
Circular & Healthy City District – Workshop Area Hall D3
The transition towards climate-neutral and resilient cities requires the integration of advanced digital technologies, sustainable infrastructures, and innovative governance models. This session explores how smart solutions – ranging from AI-driven analytics and digital twins to high-performance computing and IoT systems – can support circular economy strategies and urban resilience. Attention is given to the alignment with the EU Mission “Climate Neutral and Smart Cities” and the New European Bauhaus initiative. The roundtable will bring together academia, research centers, and industry stakeholders to discuss technological enablers, societal impacts, and scalable solutions for sustainable urban development.
