Taipei’s smart city approach has moved beyond vision to execution -- using data and digital technologies to deliver results that are more relevant and meaningful to its residents. The goal is to transform the city into a living lab that combines industry and government resources to support initiatives that fulfil the promise of technology, guard against danger and build effective services in-house.

Taipei has the technology; the challenge is figuring out which citizen-centric solutions are needed to engage diverse stakeholders and encourage citizen participation. How can Taipei align technology, infrastructure and leadership to deliver the three pillars of smart city success: improved quality of life, a greener environment and better connected services? 

What will the infrastructure systems of the future look like? How can we build more inclusive cities that make the most of the platform economy, culture and creativity? This exclusive virtual briefing, held by the Financial Times in partnership with Siemens, brought together policy-makers, innovators and investors to engage in expert discussion on Taipei’s approach to smart city development and the best practices to drive real cultural change.
