Putting the Smart Into Cities in Collaboration with The Institution of Civil Engineers(ICE)

Symetri featured on The Future of Engineering hub – a new initiative launched by St James’s House in association with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).


This initiative incorporates two exciting new documentaries – Putting the Smart into Cities and Inspiring Future Generations.

Putting the Smart into Cities is a thought-provoking exploration of the ideas, innovations, and visionary individuals shaping the landscape of sustainable and smart cities across the globe. This documentary not only educates and inspires its audience but also serves as a platform for meaningful discussions on the pressing challenges of urban living, both today and in the future.

Symetri is honoured to be a part of this enlightening initiative and looks forward to contributing to the ongoing dialogue surrounding smart cities and empowering people to work smarter for a better future.

Richard Freed, founder of St James’s House, said:

“We’re thrilled to be launching this important initiative and documentary series at the global home of civil engineering. The thought leaders, engineering pioneers and graduates featured in this project are tackling some of the greatest challenges facing humanity, today and tomorrow, and their contributions are both insightful and inspiring.”
