Across the nation, cities are confronting a full roster of opportunities.

And whether that funding is used to improve hard infrastructure, connect communities to reliable broadband, or drive innovations that better support government, leaders are empowered in new ways to create cities of the future. Join Route Fifty's fourth annual Future Cities program as we explore the experimentation and transformation in city governments across the country.

In this interactive session, Route Fifty welcomes an expert to discuss how they’ve leveraged new technologies to become more than a smart city.
