SmartCities Hack 2021
Name of the competition: SmartCities Hack 2021
About the competition: Urbanisation, globalisation, climate change and
demographic change are all public pressures on people’s quality of life, safety
and security. This has put many city authorities in a challenging position to tackle
problems relating to these topics. To address this, the NSW Government Smart
Places Strategy, Oracle Corporation, Slack and Oracle Partner Network brought a
series of hackathons to challenge partners and developers to seek new ways to
connect, get better insights to foster a better environment and develop smarter
and safer cities.
