Smart cities are the next evolution in sustainable urban communities.
The NightSense™ methodology, pioneered by urban designer Leni Schwendinger, empowers communities to harness the potential of data-driven digital technologies to reimagine nighttime environments. Through collaborative, consensus-building workshops that bring together all neighborhood stakeholders, NightSense™ helps cities navigate issues such as public space equity, safety, sustainability, economic vitality and cultural heritage.
While city innovation and sustainability often starts with street lighting conversion to low-wattage, long-life LED technology that reduces energy consumption, operating expenses, and maintenance costs, it can be so much more. Cutting-edge smart technologies can be used to foster inclusive spaces by streamlining government services, increasing community involvement in civic design and enhancing the after-sunset placemaking outcomes.
Cities looking to shape their smart city of the future can leverage NightSense™ to explore the possibilities of smart technologies all while empowering communities to co-design connected, sustainable and adaptable urban environments.
The NightSense™ team is standing by to help cities strategize their next move in designing the connected, innovative city of the future with the twin powers of smart technologies and community participation.
