DESCRIPTION:Smart cities can significantly improve our quality of life and
  create economic opportunities\, by collecting and using a vast amount of 
 data to manage diverse assets and resources efficiently. The development o
 f smart cities thus requires a new mode of open\, dynamic innovation invol
 ving close coordination and collaboration among multiple stakeholders with
  different backgrounds and expertise. The convergence of new\, disruptive 
 technologies not only results in fundamental transformation of our current
  innovation systems\, but also increases concerns regarding privacy\, cybe
 r security\, and public safety. This seminar aims to address these various
  opportunities and challenges associated with smart cities and relevant po
 licy implications. Two international scholars are invited to share their r
 ecent studies on innovation systems of smart cities in China\, Japan\, Kor
 ea\, and the United States.
