This Speaker Series webinar introduced and discussed Cisco's latest initiative driven out of our Globalisation Centre East headquarters in Bangalore called Smart Connected Communities. 500 million people will be urbanised over the next five years. 100 new one million-plus cities will be built by 2025. Trillions of dollars in stimulus packages have been announced, much of which will go into infrastructure. And the resulting environmental impact of this massive urbanisation will be significant; already the top 20 megacities use 75 percent of the world's energy. The ability to sustainably balance social, economic and environmental resources is more urgent than ever before.
The Smart Connected Communities initiative provides a blue print for how Cisco aims to capture this market transition through the development of visionary vertical solutions and new global ecosystems.
