Dentons Smart Cities Chat Series is a podcast that aims to help cities, communities, and stakeholders modernize digital, physical and social infrastructure to take advantage of technological developments that enable the integration of essential services. We share stories on the latest technologies and smart city development from industry professionals and legal thought leaders. What makes a community ‘smart’? Why is everyone obsessed with data? How do municipalities integrate 5G infrastructure into their urban design, and how do carriers ensure that local concerns are addressed? From a socio-economic standpoint, what does the future hold for smart cities? Learn about all these topics and more.

If you require assistance regarding specific legal issues, or have topics you would like to hear in coming episodes, please contact us or reach out directly to a member of Dentons’ Smart Cities Canada Think Tank.
