Building a “Smart City” is feasible with the help of advanced technologies. Leading countries around the world have already developed such cities by connecting various systems and devices over databases. Social inequalities reduce as smart cities offer efficient transport systems, energy management, and public services, including healthcare services. Also available in smart cities are smart homes, smart factories, smart agriculture, etc.
Thailand Institute of Justice (TIJ), which hosted the Rule of Law and Development Program (RoLD Program), recently organised the 10th Public Forum on the Rule of Law and Development: Resilient Leaders in Action. The event brought together figures from various age groups and backgrounds to explore means to curb inequalities and injustices in Thai society. Experts proposed solutions and recommendations for the joint development of smart cities.
