In the next episode of The Engineers Collective, Nadine Buddoo (features editor, New Civil Engineer) interviews Jamie Cudden, the smart city lead at Dublin City Council. Jamie established the 'Smart Dublin' regional initiative in 2015 and is passionate about all things smart cities, and loves emerging tech trends.

Together the pair muse about what it takes to make a 'smart city' and what kind of buy-in is required of a city's stakeholders. Jamie explains some of the solutions already in place in Dublin and the benefits they have for the city, as well as the impact of Covid-19 on the initiative. 

City planning, new tech solutions, cost, accessibility, and data protection are all on the topic list in this fascinating insight from one of the UK's leaders in smart cities.
