Digital Transformation for Sustainability

How is digital transformation improving the sustainability of infrastructure and cities? Key projects and future directions.
Wednesday 15th December, 2021
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Online
Free

In 2021, the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has seen ongoing changes to how we all live, work and play. COP26 has prompted many governments and businesses to commit to do more to achieve sustainable development. This seminar is focussed on how digital transformation is contributing to sustainable development and improving how we design, build and use places – and the challenges. “Digital transformation pressure, combined with pandemic-driven changes, will move us into a world where anything that isn’t cloud is considered legacy”, one Gartner analyst said. “Data fabric” was identified as the top tech trend for 2022: “providing a flexible, resilient integration of data sources across platforms and business users”. In this seminar, key industry speakers from the first 3 Infrastructure Platform seminars will come together (chaired by Mark Allan from the City of Melbourne) to;

  • reflect on the year gone by,
  • discuss an exemplar project (where digital transformation is improving infrastructure sustainability),
  • discuss future directions in (digital) infrastructure for 2022, and
  • the digital transformation challenges Australian government, industry and researchers face i.e. challenges relating to people, processes, policies in developing “a data fabric”
