Smart city: definition, components, and translation into real-world projects
Dr Tanvi Maheshwari from Monash Art, Design and Architecture in Melbourne and Dr Alyas Widita at Monash University, Indonesia, co-taught a studio course for Master of Urban Design students themed 'Repairing Transit Deserts.' The course focused on public transit accessibility, connectivity, and equity in the Jakarta metro area, using smart city technologies and spatial data analytics.

This initiative aligns with the smart city framework, which integrates ICT and IoT to enhance urban life, improve operational efficiency, and promote sustainable development.
