A smart city is not one dominated by a single firm, nor is it dominated by the state or a government.
A smart city is an enabled ecosystem built on top of a grid of multiple possibilities for interacting and becoming informed. It is an omni-channeled place with discoverable content through multiple platforms.
It isn't tied to one map. It isn't tied to one framework. It isn't tied to one point of view or one provider or one set of providers.
A smart city enables. It gives voice to those who are normally not projecting their image. It is a place for action, discourse and safety. It is transparent.
It allows people to find help both acutely and in the long term.
It enables linkages to commerce and ideas, but it is not alone the forum.
It is a wayfinder.
