The current wide gap between the thinking frameworks of the "smart city" and the "sustainable city" suggests that, today, it is undoubtedly necessary to refine the concept of the "smart city" in order to take full account of the sustainability issues (in their plurality) employed in the urban setting.

This Night of Ideas programme will be an opportunity to examine how the concept of sustainability can be used in the definition of the "smart city".

How can we talk about "smart AND sustainable cities"?
How can we bring together the objectives of efficiency in the deployment of intelligent solutions for the city and the citizen, and their impact in terms of environmental, economic or social sustainability?

For the third Night of Ideas in Vietnam, this event will offer three highlights:

  1. What does Smart City mean?
  2. Progress and limits of the Smart City
  3. The Smart City in Vietnam

The theme "Close" will be addressed as a common thread of the discussions: how does the "intelligent city", in its new modes of operation and the wider use of new technologies, connected objects, applications, etc., enable it to influence individual and collective relationships to space and, more broadly, the definition of new relationships between the city dweller and the machine, in the various aspects of daily life?

What will be the impact of digital technology, particularly in terms of social relations, in this new way of "living the city"?

Ahead of the event (in the first half of January 2021), a video recording of a remote interview between Linh Nguyen Tri (IDF Major Urban Project Manager, Bouygues Immobilier) and Dominique Sellier (Urban Planner based in Oslo, Norway), led by Emmanuel Cerise (Researcher, PRX representative in Hanoi) will be made. This video will be edited and subtitled for use during the debate, and will also be proposed to the IDF Paris. This event will be organized in collaboration with IF Norway.
