Podcasts about smarter cities

In this episode of The Jason de Sousa Show, Jason sits down with Mark Woodland, Founder and CEO of Kismet Health Care, to talk about building a smarter, more proactive healthcare system in Australia. From the rising costs in the care economy to the role of AI in health tech, they explore what it takes to challenge the status quo. Mark shares why he started Kismet, how software can help ease pressure on the healthcare system, and why he believes we need to shift from reactive care to prevention. They also discuss the realities of launching a startup in Australia—access to capital, the tax system, and whether our culture truly supports innovation. The conversation moves beyond business into the big picture: Australia's falling birth rate, growing public sector reliance, and what it all means for our future economy. Are we doing enough to support entrepreneurs? And what needs to change to keep Australia competitive? Tune in for a wide-ranging conversation on healthcare, startups, and the future of Australia's growth.

This week on Highways Voices we talk about how better managing the kerbside for deliveries saves fuel and time, raises revenue and cuts emissions.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!The founder of Grid Smarter Cities, Neil Herron, is the guest on the programme explaining that the current system just doesn't work, "We currently operate a first come first served approach, at the kerb space... which leads to... a lot of wasted time, a lot of wasted effort. All we've done is apply a degree of common sense. You wouldn't open an airport and just tell the planes to turn anytime you wished, or land wherever they want, we're treating the kerbside in the same sort of fashion."In the interview, we talk about the role of the Smart Mobility Living Lab in helping test out the ideas, how the concept is now reality on the banks for the River Thames and how a small company with a big idea can scale up to deliver on globally.He also explains how his solutions can have knock-on benefits for other areas of a council's obligations such as social care. "There's a lot of time wasted in vehicles having to go and park legally somewhere, the carer then having to walk from the car park to deliver care, and you might be losing five or ten minutes at the front end five to ten minutes at the back end," he says. "So 30 minutes worth of care ends up being 15 or 20 minutes, because of the parking provision that's required," with the kerbside solution allowing carers to book slots to legally and safely park nearby.You'll also hear why those tackling roadworker abuse win Adrian's Accolade this week, about partnerships for LCRIG and ITS UK, connected vehicles at the Innovation Festival and ADEPT's views on the Strategic Road Network.

The Buzz 1: “Smart cities are the intelligent cities of positivity and happy-energy, not the junkyards of technologies but cities of diversity, love, life, beauty, dignity, freedom, tolerance, and equality.” (Amit Ray, author: Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity) The Buzz 2: “The banning of bullfighting in Catalonia was controversial and hard won and has now been replaced by the vacuous global consumption of the mall. I'm sure that is an advance for the bulls but I'm not sure how well it bodes for the serious business of being a city. (Edwin Heathcote, The Financial Times architecture and design critic) The Buzz 3: “The second mode [to deal with unsafe cities] is to take refuge in vehicles. This is the technique practiced in the big wild-animal reservations of Africa, where tourists are warned to leave their cars under no circumstances until they reach a lodge. It is also the technique practiced in Los Angeles.” (Jane Jacobs, author: The Death and Life of Great American Cities) The Buzz 4: “Urbanization has lured more people to bustling metropolises, but precious little thought has been given to what happens when these cities fail…For all the famed cities with thousands of years of continuity – Paris, London, Cairo, Athens, Rome, Istanbul – most cities just stop.” (Ben Paynter, Fast Company senior writer) We'll ask Don DeLoach at Rocket Wagon Venture Studios, Brenna Berman at City Tech, John Robbins at Turner & Townsend, and Peter Torrellas at Parsons for their take on The Future of Smarter Cities: People + How Much Technology?

Rishi Suri, editor of India's largest Urdu newspaper, the Daily Milap, joins Smarter Cities in a fascinating discussion on India and its place in the world. India is a rising power. A country of deep history, beloved in Australia for its culture, cuisine and cricket obsession. It is also the country of my parent’s birth, one I have visited since childhood and one which has always captured my love and imagination. Governed now by a nationalist administration and a prime minister, Narendra Modi, whose leadership has overwhelmingly been endorsed by the Indian people at multiple elections, India is finding its voice - with a deeper focus on nationalism and an intensified leadership in international affairs. Rishi Suri is the third generation of his family to serve as editor of the Daily Milap. I took the chance to draw on his deep knowledge to understand what India wants its place in the world to be and what it is doing to get there.

Rob Stokes is one of Australia’s most thoughtful and prescient politicians - with a passion for public policy and public service that has led him to one of the toughest portfolios around - as Minister for Planning and Public Spaces in Australia’s largest state, NSW. Rob argues that Covid 19 is the greatest disruption to how cities and countries will function since the Spanish flu and the introduction of the motorcar. He says the heart of this disruption will be how Australia, and the global community of nations, chooses to manage global resources as the World addresses new and emerging geopolitical and environmental risks ahead. The first ‘in person’ episode of Smarter Cities since March 2020 is a wide- ranging conversation that extends from cities and the environment to the future of education and to how we meet challenges ahead.

After four months of consultations with residents and businesses, respondents made it clear that the focus should be on mobility. The City of Vancouver and City of Surrey are now in the process of composing their final application, to be submitted by March 5. You may have seen a portion of Vancouver and Surrey's submission on local streets. Local residents have had the opportunity to experience ELectric Automation (ELA) in the form of a driverless shuttle that has been operating in Vancouver and Surrey. The EZ10 Driverless Shuttle – is already being used in several countries around the world. ELA – short for ELectric Automation – is a fully-accessible, 100% electric vehicle with a battery life of up to 14 hours. It holds up to 12 passengers and will travel at about 12 km/h during the demo but has a maximum travelling speed of 40 km/h.
