Building smart cities should not involve just the government, policymakers
Other players have a role. Meanwhile, the lack of a viable business model and lagging regulations impede the process: panellists
Singapore
BUILDING a smart city is not just the job of a city's government and policymakers. It should also be the responsibility of businesses, academia and research, non-profit organisations, even civil society.
And across all the different players, technology and innovation have a hugely important role, panellists said at a live recording of Perspectives, a TV programme by Channel NewsAsia which features discussions of issues concerning the future. This particular episode, centred on smart cities, will be broadcast later this month.
