Meanwhile, in the field of communications, new leaders are steering the city towards a more connected and technologically advanced future. The emphasis on breaking ground here lies in leveraging innovative technologies to improve public services and community engagement. Engaging with the community through various digital platforms is a key objective for these leaders, aiming to make information and services more accessible than ever before.
One of the focal points of these communications efforts is the UP.Summit, a summit that allows technology leaders to showcase the latest transportation innovations.ubishi vehicles driving without human intervention were among the attractions at this year’s UP.Summit, indicating a futuristic direction the city is heading in terms of transportation[1].
