Welcome,

I am thrilled to present to you this special edition of Smart City Miami Magazine, produced and published by Smart Cities Americas LLC.

SUSTAINABLE is the NEW SMART was the theme of Smart City Expo Miami 2022, and the relevance of the subjects presented motivated us to launch this special edition. The event, in its third annual edition, reached global audience.

The trade show attendees had the opportunity to be in a front-row seat to groundbreaking innovation. Sessions on Sustainable Growth, Climate Action, Resilient Infrastructure, and Quality of Life presented valuable insights about how to live in a sustainable city.

Our award-winning speakers, experts in their fields, presented concrete cases that greatly enriched our knowledge about the infrastructure of cities and what actions are needed to improve the quality of life of citizens and communities.

By working with the speakers for a year, choosing topics, structuring the content, and organizing the presentation, it created a friendship that brought us closer together, creating a community of people interested in the development of our cities with quality of life.

The participation of professionals from different countries, cultures, and languages resulted in a roster of 52 award-winning and globally recognized speakers, the best thinkers in urbanism and technology, to raise awareness of the importance of Urban Planning, Climate Action, and Green Economy.

The result was the creation, assembly, and presentation of the leading event on sustainable cities in the United States of America.

In essence, the immersive experience and impactful talks and connections empowered participants, catapulting the movement with practical, optimistic approaches to fostering climate action.

Among participants, you had representatives from cities, countries, local, national and international technical bodies, non-governmental organizations, corporations, startups, and entrepreneurs.

We have to thank the speakers, the participants, and the organizations that supported us, and, especially, the support and participation of Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

It is also necessary to acknowledge the professionalism and dedication of the Smart Cities Americas team, which contributed greatly to the success of the event and to the publication of this magazine.
