Janice is the Director of Infrastructure Advisory at EY and also recently joined me on the Future Leaders, Future Cities delegation to Japan.

We also discuss work that Janice is doing in the government advisory in the Smart City space, and the emerging trends that other people aren't talking about in depth.
