New Services Based on the Viewpoint of Consumers

What are the smart services that will be needed in the post-COVID-19 cities in order to achieve some of the goals set in the SDGs?
We are focusing on "places of daily life in the city" as the stage for the new services that we are creating. Examples include schools, offices, factories, local communities, and blocks crowded with people. Needs for new ways of doing things are increasing and changing everywhere due to COVID-19, from graduation ceremonies, sports and other events in schools, to work styles in offices and factories. We are looking forward to meeting companies that have ideas and technologies to co-create a new urban ecosystem with us.
