In this episode of What’s the Story, Dublin?, brought to you by Dublin City Council, we take a look at Smart Cities.

Smart Cities provides solutions to the needs of the capital and Smart City lead Jamie Cudden explains why we need it in an increasingly technologically advanced world.

This unit of Dublin City Council is centred on data and technology to facilitate the changing landscape of Dublin, with consideration to climate change, waste management, traffic, tourism, and more.

We also discuss the impact of drones and AI in the city and the Dublin Portal, which has proven immensely popular since it was unveiled on O’Connell Street in May 2024.

This podcast was recorded in Central Library studio in December 2024. Graphics are by John Stone.
