Analysing smart city projects across the GCC has helped me inform the extent to which  technology has impacted sustainable policy making, reaping economic benefits, measured through GDP growth and employment figures. Does technology contribute to the Net Zero 2050 strategy, or rather prove to be an instrument of detriment? This question influenced my curiosity about how successfully Smart City policies combine the emerging trends of AI and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) frameworks to generate economically prosperous outcomes. Establishing ‘Sustainable Cities & Communities’ as the 11th of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforces the global urge for action towards sustainable initiatives and amplifies my eagerness to explore policy solutions towards this.

This is super fascinating and impactful research, Inaaya! It's really inspiring to see how the use of  technology and sustainable policy can drive transformative change, but also important to acknowledge the possible detriments. Beautiful poster as well!
