Track A - Smart cities of the future
How to Safely Reboot Public Space (of a post-pandemic city)
- Using AI & Machine Learning, The City of Amsterdam developed a cutting-edge crowd counter to monitor the large-scale public events like the EUFA Cup in 2020.
- Corona quickly created many new paradigm shifts for policy makers and authorities on how to manage public space during a pandemic.
- Amsterdam designed & deployed an open source ‘Privacy-By-Design’ technology to monitor the health and safety of squares, parks and waterfronts.
- The technology (and its many spin-offs) is a model for Amsterdam and other municipalities to safely navigate our post-pandemic city.
