Detailed Agenda

Smart cities are at the forefront of innovation, constantly striving to enhance the quality of life for their residents. These cities recognize that the concept of 'smart' is an ongoing evolution rather than a fixed destination. Across the globe, urban centers are leveraging GIS technology to address present-day challenges, challenge traditional norms, and envision a future where technological advancements drive solutions for infrastructure demands, support communities during crises, and adapt to the uncertainties of tomorrow. Join us as we explore the five exciting trends shaping the landscape of smart cities, paving the way for a more sustainable, resilient, and interconnected urban future.

Building cities while addressing the challenges they face daily is a complex process. Planners and designers need many applications and resources to do their jobs. ArcGIS offers an innovative and connected system of tools that can transform these tasks. In this presentation, we will explore how ArcGIS Urban, ArcGIS Hub, and ArcGIS City Engine can help reshape the future of urban planning and, enable cities to become smarter, more resilient, and more inclusive by utilizing data-driven tools that can take schematic concepts to detailed architectural visualizations.

Explore how GIS and geodesign empower AEC professionals to deliver sustainable, resilient, and smart infrastructure. See real-world examples where digital twins and spatial analysis are used to guide decisions around climate adaptation, energy efficiency, and long-term asset management—from concept to construction.
