Growing concerns on climate change are driving emerging exploration of renewable energy transition, and it has been acknowledged that effectively penetrating renewable energy into urban systems plays a key role in facilitating this transition process. However, the uncertainty in renewable energy supply and the flexibility in energy demand at fine spatiotemporal resolutions significantly hinders a

LKY CIC Brownbag Lunchtime Talk – Cities are evolving into increasingly differentiated, complex, and diverse systems. Fundamental drivers of urban forms, such as energy, mobility, and information technology, have transformed radically within the past decade. These shifts have given rise to new lifestyles, alongside changing demographic and migration patterns, prompting a need for new social structures and a rethinking of spatial

LKY CIC Brown Bag Lunchtime Talk – Cities around the world are increasingly facing the challenges posed by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, exacerbated by rising global temperatures due to climate change.

Collective intelligence is created when people collaborate, often with the aid of technology, to gather and utilise diverse information, ideas and perspectives to tackle complex social challenges. In this learning journey, participants will explore such innovative methodologies from two real-life examples.

Join us for a learning journey to understand why and how participedia.com was created, and what are the most significant methods or case studies from the point of view of those who manage the platform. There will also be a practical session that demonstrates how to use and contribute to the knowledge base.

LKY CIC Brown Bag Lunchtime Talk – We study whether humans trust an Artificial Intelligence (AI) when they are given the opportunity to teach the AI how to reciprocate the trust of a human being. The AI initially has four strategies to reciprocate trust: minimum reciprocity, slight reward for trusting, fair sharing of benefits, and generosity.

This panel centers on the concept of citizen assemblies as a means of collective decision-making and community empowerment.

The talk will focus on how we have been addressing two of the most difficult issues that confront us – an increasingly dense environment and the scarcity of fundamental resources such as land, water and energy. The lecture provides useful insights for all who live and work in Singapore and are interested to contribute to making ours an even more liveable, sustainable and vibrant city.
