Seminar: Preventing Crime in Hyperspaces
We begin by introducing the concept of hyperspaces and examining the
unique cybersecurity risks that arise from the interaction between online and
physical environments. In this second seminar, we focus on integrating the
concepts of hyperspace into urban planning and policy-making. Speakers will
discuss attacks on transportation systems and reflect on research and
government preparedness for navigating these challenges, which are crucial
for defining actionable recommendations for policymakers and urban
planners. By understanding hyperspace as a multifaceted environment where
digital and physical systems interact, we can better grasp the vulnerabilities
cities may face.
