In his conference Renato will Introduce the new trends in business development in smart cities regarding the use of high-ending information and communication technologies ICTs and IoTs applied to daily life, with some case studies of Singapore, Japan and South Korea.

The world is facing an incredible increase in urban problems due to the population growth. Natural resources management, environment conditions, industrial policies and economic power have shaped the cities and directly influenced the modern urban lifestyle. By 2030, according to United Nation reports, it will probably be over 70% of the world population concentrated in the so-called global cities, imposing dramatic changes in our lives. As a tentative of solution for this problems, we are experiencing a strong orientation in both, public and private sectors for the development of “Smart Cities”. Old cities are being retrofitted around the world to be more sustainable and also some brand new cities are being built from ground zero, 100% designed and oriented to be smart since their first drafts plans. India has recently announced a multi-billionaire project to built 100 smart cities. China and South Korea have already new cities fully operational. Independent of the complexity, the stage of development or amount of investments, the most remarkable similarity among the smart cities is the intense use of information and communication technologies – ITCs and IoTs. Singapore, known as the «Smart Nation”, is one of the most developed smart city in the world. They got to leverage the use of high-technology applied to the management of the city and to the wellness of the citizens, in an effective public-private partnership . Singapore can be considered a hybrid smart city project, combining a deep city retrofit with new greenfield urban clusters. This speech will show how the intense use of high-ending technologies in daily life is influencing the behavior of the citizens and shaping a conceptual pattern of the consumer of the future. Finally, the speaker will demonstrate that smart cities can be a real laboratory to develop, test and refine the new business strategies for the global retail industry.
