Smart Cities Success: Connecting People, Proptech and Real Estate

What is real estate’s role in realising the Smart Cities promise?

With the ongoing process of urbanisation, the potential of smart cities has captured the imagination of governments and businesses worldwide.

Cities across the world are racing to implement new solutions and investing billions to adopt new technologies that promise to make urban life more connected, efficient and sustainable.
