Smart Cities and the Insurance Industry
More than half of all humans globally live and work in cities and urbanised areas, with this set to increase to 68% by 2050. Taking population growth into account, the United Nations estimates that this could mean another 2.5 billion people will be living in the world’s cities.
So cities are becoming smarter. Risks will change. Old risks such as of burglary and theft will diminish, new ones, like cyber, will emerge. Being able to respond to these changes with the right cover will be essential for insurers.
Joining Nick Hewer today to discuss this in more detail are:
Glen Clarke, the Head of Transformational Propositions at Allianz,
Dan Hubert the CEO of the smart-parking platform AppyWay, and
Graham Thrower the Head of Infrastructure and Investment, at the smart-city consultancy Urban Foresight. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy -
Connected Buildings and the Insurance Industry
Smart devices – connected through the Internet of Things, talking to each other, and harvesting data in real time – are on the rise. By 2020, more than half of major new business processes and systems will incorporate some element of the Internet of Things.
It has the potential to completely redefine the traditional insurance business model, shifting the focus from paying out after the event, to the prevention of accidents occurring in the first place.

The working week no longer means Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Home working and the gig economy are changing the workplace, and according to figures published by the ONS in February 2019, the number of self-employed people in the UK increased from 3.3 million people in 2001 to 4.8 million in 2017 – that’s just over 15% of the workforce.
So in this era of new working patterns, does that demand new ways of thinking about insurance?
