Transforming Infrastructure - Episode 53 | George Floros
Manage episode 440498250 series 3505510
The intersection of digital technology and urban development is paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in infrastructure and energy management. Digital construction is driving significant transformations in ways previously unimaginable. As we move towards smarter, more connected cities, the role of data-driven solutions becomes increasingly crucial in shaping environments that are not only technologically advanced but also deeply attuned to the needs of their communities.
Smart cities represent a bold vision for the future—one where technology is leveraged to create more livable, sustainable, and resilient urban spaces. These cities use vast amounts of data to improve everything from energy consumption and transportation to public safety and environmental health. Yet, for smart cities to truly fulfil their promise, they must be designed with a focus on inclusivity and community impact, ensuring that all residents benefit from the technological advancements.
But can a smart city truly contribute meaningfully on a global scale to humanity's well-being and sustainability goals? We need to chat to someone who can help us examine these interconnected topics!
George Floros is the Associate Director of Digital Construction at AtkinsRealis, leading the Digital Construction strategy across the Nuclear & Power sector. George’s expertise lies on the long-term integration of the GEO and BIM domains (GeoBIM) to realise the digital thread across project lifecycles.
George is delivering the Digital Transformation of the AEC industry by leveraging the power of data-driven Digital Twins and Smart Cities. Focusing on holistic integrations with a customer-centric approach, George delivers economic, environmental and social value for all project stakeholders, whilst reducing risk through cross-disciplinary, connected, data-driven solutions.
In parallel to all of this, George is pursuing his PhD at the University College London focusing on the integration of GeoBIM for Asset Management.
