Cities 5.0: Harnessing AI, Continuum and Virtual Twins for the Future of Urban Living
City 5.0 represents a vision of urban living in which technology is harnessed for efficiency and innovation. It is designed to be an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient environment, fostering community engagement, inclusivity, and equity while leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve quality of life and ensure long-term urban sustainability.
As City 5.0 is an evolving concept, it may continue to change and adapt as new technologies and social priorities emerge. While "City 5.0" is still an emerging idea without a single, widely accepted definition, the core goal will always remain: to create smart, human-centred, inclusive, environmentally responsible cities and a sustainable urban future.
We will explore opportunities and challenges in this event, including a human-centric approach, policy, regulatory, standardisation, practical implementation and environmental aspects.
Event Themes
Collaboration and Standardisation
In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, effective collaboration and standardized practices are key to driving innovation and ensuring seamless integration across industries. This session will explore the importance of cross-sector collaboration and the role of standardization in creating efficient, scalable, and sustainable solutions. Attendees will gain insights into successful collaboration frameworks, the challenges of maintaining standards amidst rapid technological advancements, and strategies for balancing flexibility with consistency. Join us for a dynamic discussion on how collaboration and standardization can foster growth, reduce costs, and enhance global interoperability.
Green Enablement
As sustainability becomes a global priority, Green ICT is emerging as a pivotal enabler of environmental responsibility. This session will focus on how the integration of energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy solutions, and sustainable practices with the ICT can help reduce carbon footprints and promote eco-friendly innovation. Attendees will explore cutting-edge Green ICT strategies, models, methodologies, and discuss the role of ICT in supporting broader sustainability goals. Join us to learn how businesses and organizations can leverage Green ICT to create value while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Cities 5.0
Explore the transformative vision of Cities 5.0—an evolution toward intelligent, sustainable, and people-centric urban environments. This session will dive into cutting-edge technologies, data-driven governance, and inclusive design strategies shaping the future of smart cities. Join industry leaders and urban planners as they discuss innovations that prioritize community well-being, environmental resilience, and digital integration to create thriving urban ecosystems. Learn how forward-thinking initiatives can redefine living, working, and mobility in the cities of tomorrow.
AI, Virtual Twins and Verses
Virtual twins and virtual verses are revolutionizing how we design, interact with, and optimize both physical and digital environments. This session will delve into the cutting-edge concepts of virtual twins—digital replicas of physical assets or systems—and virtual verses, immersive digital spaces that extend the possibilities of human interaction and collaboration and explore how these technologies are transforming industries such as manufacturing, urban planning, and entertainment, driving efficiencies, innovation, and new experiences.
