Smart cities in 2026 are being measured by how well they protect health and wellbeing, through predictive AI, connected community care networks and climate-adaptive hospital infrastructure.
Derek Duzoglou joined a panel on exactly that question at the Smart Cities 2026 Conference at the University of Miami, exploring how technology can help communities become healthier and more resilient.
His message to the room: clean water access is a human challenge, not only an infrastructure one. And for the first time, decentralized, containerized technology makes it possible to deliver clean water and power quickly and at scale, wherever the need is.
The full panel discussion is available to watch on YouTube.
