The Connected Triangle+ is a regional effort launched at our November 9, 2023 Summit. Simply put, the Connected Triangle+ Partners envision a region where interconnected smart communities work together to create an extraordinary place to live, work, and visit—for everyone.
Status and Next Steps
Since the initial Summit, we have focused our vision and are identifying the use cases to build a connected and "smart" region. As part of Smart City Connect we held a workshop and focused in on the following use cases:
- Climate Change
- Stormwater
- Electrification
- Air Quality
We had a mix of public and private participants, sharing experiences and input. We will be digesting the notes and anticipate issuing a “smart city challenge” to move towards addressing a component of at least one of these use cases: How do we improve the measurement and tracking our local and regional data and better measure and track improvement in each community and across the Triangle.
Look for an announcement of our “challenge” and plans for The Connected Triangle+ Summit II. To stay in the loop, sign up for email alerts under the topic "Smart Raleigh."
