 SCP E03 Using technology as an enabler for social justice, with Nancy Odendaal | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:55:12

In this episode, I had a delightful conversation with Nancy Odendaal, an Urban Planner, an Associate Professor in City planning at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. She has been in the Smart City game for well over a decade now and is really interested in how technologies affect power dynamics between people. Nancy has a number of projects on the go at the moment, one of which is researching the use of drones to enable humanitarian aid.  Nancy and I discuss many things, including using technology as an enabler for social justice, and how technology can enhance the sense of place of a city. As well as this, Nancy talked about some of the things South Africa and Africa as a whole is doing in the Smart City space, and the impact simple technology is having on transport, mobility and street traders. This is a longer episode than usual but I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.   Connect with Nancy via http://uct.academia.edu/NancyOdendaal Find the full show notes: thesmartcitypodcast.com  Connect with me via email: zoe@thesmartcitypodcast.com  Connect via Twitter and Facebook @smartcitypod

 Introduction to the Smart City Podcast | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:02:12

A taste of what's to come on the Smart City Podcast. I'm your host, Zoe. I'm an engineer and a millennial with a passion for Smart City technology - and not specifically just in the big cities, but using Smart technology in any shape or form that makes things more efficient and effective and in turn makes people's lives better. I went searching for a hub where other people interested in this space hung out, and I couldn't really find one, so I decided to create my own. The Smart City Podcast is where experts come together and share their experiences and expertise. Here I will interview exciting people from all around the world, about all things Smart City, including concepts, technology and anything that makes a place more liveable. I created this space mainly because I want to hang out with these exciting people, surround myself with them and build a Smart City Collective. Each episode-other than this short intro one-will run between 30 minutes and 1 hour. You can listen on your daily commute, or wherever you want! So sit back, relax, open your mind and enjoy The Smart City Podcast.
