The University of Miami School of Architecture and Institute for Data Science & Computing invited you to attend the Smart Cities MIAMI 2020 Workshop.

To aid in the design and development of more sustainable, livable, and resilient cities, the University of Miami brings cutting-edge research in urban planning, architecture, and engineering in alignment with computational resources and analytical methods. The annual Smart Cities Miami Conference is an extension of these efforts, providing a forum for leaders in academia, industry, and government to closely examine evolving theories and practices in the Smart City field. The topics considered vary in scope and nature within a general theme that is particularly relevant for each year.

The theme for the 2020 edition is adoption and adaptation, providing opportunities to explore questions such as:

• How does technology enable cities to adapt to a changing environment?
• How do individuals, societies, and cultures adopt and adapt to emerging technologies, such as IoT, self-driving cars, gig economies, etc.?
• How do we transition from sustaining to disruptive practices and technology?
• Do cities become more resilient when they adopt new technology?
