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?
