Guest: Dr Non Arkaraprasertkul, Senior Expert, Digital Economy Promotion Agency, Smart City Office, Thailand
We’ve all been there - stuck in traffic, breathing in exhaust, or wondering why our city feels harder to live in than it should. But what if the solution wasn’t just more roads or bigger buildings, but smarter ways to design and run our cities? We speak to Dr. Non Arkaraprasertkul, a Senior Expert at Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency, who's been behind more than 120 smart city projects across Thailand. He joins us to share more about his work which involves cities across ASEAN, and how bringing together technology, good policy, and what people actually need, can achieve the goal of creating cities that are easier to live in, better for the environment, and built for the future.
