Smart Cities: Bridging Physical and Digital

9 November 2012 - 10 November 2012

Experience for yourself how new technologies are revolutionizing the city and the way we live

This exhibition is being held on November 9th and 10th as part of the 2012 Festival of Social Science. Its aim is to demonstrate how the latest innovations in research and technology are revolutionizing the urban landscape and our experience of it.

Through interactive exhibits, developed by the Centre for Spatial Analysis and Policy (University of Leeds) and the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (University College London), you’ll have the opportunity to engage with the latest technologies and see for yourself how cities are becoming ‘smarter’ and more habitable.

So be part of it. See how science is shaping our world and play a part in shaping science!

Price: The event is free and geared towards people of all ages and backgrounds.
