In this episode of the Talking Transformation Podcast we revisit a theme we've touched on in previous episodes: smart / digital cities and the implications of the fourth industrial revolution or 4IR as it has become known. Listeners may recall that State President Ramaphosa talked about this in this in his 2019 State the Nation Address at Parliament a number of months ago.
The questions remain: if this is the aspiration: How do we do it? What does it require? And what are the benchmarks and lesson learnt around the world that might influence how we go about our business? We're joined by guests Associate Professor Nancy Odendaal and Luke Boyle, both of whom are working from the University of Cape Town. In this episode, they take listeners through the concepts and the differences and answer these questions. They also address some of the limitations of these concepts. It makes for an insightful and fascinating listen. We trust you enjoy!
