Nikken Sekkei speaks at the 2018 Moscow Smart City Conference
Preobrazhensky sets a shining example as the first realized large scale Smart City of Russia.
Moscow, Russia, May 22nd, 2018. Nikken Sekkei was invited to participate at "MOSCOW SMART CITY - Prospects of the implementation of smart technologies into the urban environment ". The conference, organized by the Higher School of Economics, Institute of Regional Studies and Urban Planning, saw leading Russian and foreign scientists, representatives of government bodies, and technology companies speak on the convention’s main topic.
Nikken Sekkei’s Executive Officer, Mr Fadi Jabri, and Nikken Sekkei’s Deputy Principal, Mr Kizumi Ryuichi, introduced to the audience the Smart City of Preobrazhenski in Krasnoyarsk, the first realized large scale “smart city” development project in Russia.
Nikken Sekkei’s Preobrazhensky project presents the concept of a smart city with advanced technology and connectivity, and improved resource saving and cost reduction without relinquishing any of the comfort and the luxury of a superior life-style. A concept that goes far beyond the image of a fully teched-out city. Situated on a large section of flat land in the newly-developing area of Krasnoyarsk and located in the Northern edge of the city`s development axis, this complex urban district, combines different types of activities: business, commerce, entertainment and residence, while providing green and car-free areas for pedestrians and families to enjoy. Preobrazhensky is a place built on an intelligent platform capable of improving citizens’ welfare, enhancing their comfort and their interactions with the environment, and responding to their specific everyday life needs.
About the "MOSCOW SMART CITY - Prospects of the implementation of smart technologies into the urban environment": the conference was devoted to the topic of today’s actual development of Russian cities in accordance with the “smart city” model. A whole range of organizational, economic, legal, institutional, infrastructural and other issues require the formation of a modern agenda and the implementation of the “smart” development policy for Russian cities. The limitations and possibilities for the introduction of managerial and technological solutions for “smart" urban development in Moscow were discussed; as well as the successes and plans of the city authorities towards the implementation of certain elements of the "smart" city.
Among other speakers:
- Dr. Geoffrey DeVerteuil, Senior Lecturer of Social Geography, School of Geography and Planning, Cardiff University «Smart Cities and the urban social».
- Mr. Alexander Kolontai, Deputy Director of Genplan Institute of Moscow and representative of Ministry of Construction.
