Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge to define and explore smart cities as the Internet of Things exponentially accelerates this field. This unit will explore the history of smart cities, the benchmark for smart cities, and the ethical dilemmas and opportunities provided.
This unit will also cover cutting-edge developments in smart city fields such as city dashboards, smart health, smart energy and water, and smart mobility, and the potential of these to accelerate the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT).
This unit applies to those seeking to explore smart city technologies as a career or build a broad and transferable skill set. It develops understanding of the trends, threats and opportunities for this industry and develops the ability to identify, source and store information on smart city technologies.
No occupational licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
