Most importantly A Smart City is a city that works for people. The biggest technology driver of them all @Tim_Stonor The Digital City
3. Communication 8. Broadcast 6. Introduction 1. Presence 4. Interaction 7. Innovation 2. Copresence 5. Transaction
The city is a transaction machine Cities are more than containers of people. They are creators of connections and crucibles of innovation.
Making new towns and cities more efficient & more effective places to support human life Living, working, visiting, creating, innovating & celebrating. @Tim_Stonor The Digital City
