Adam Greenfield:
“I don't believe in greenfields.” Building cities from scratch, like Songdo, doesn't work because there's no soul, no love in the city.
Ricardo Alvarez:
“Every year in Mexico there are 530,000 new households.” This requires new effective smart cities.
Usman Haque:
“Public should be making data instead of data made public.” He also mentions that a lot of data from systems is unreliable or unusable. People give data meaning.
Carlo Ratti:
“You can't win a F1 race these days without sensors in a car”. This development will also apply to the governance of cities.
In short, the audience was shaken to and fro by the views of various prominent greece phone number list figures, but could not go home with a clear answer…
I therefore leave you the choice. Depending on your choice, two future scenarios:
Option 1: Smart cities through sensors in the environment (camera, motion sensors, etc.)
Option 2: Smart cities through sensors on people (smartphone, car, etc.)
Choice for option 1:
You choose smart cities that generate data from everyone who is in public spaces. Because spying on people at home will still be reserved for the AIVD. This allows for more control in public spaces and can reduce corruption, violence and illegality. Except when there is not enough manpower to respond to the sensors. Or when corruption moves to the sensor world: after all, sending false data has been a trick to mislead governments for decades. Furthermore, companies like IBM and Cisco are becoming even bigger, Arduino is becoming as well-known to children as Pino and Google will soon also know what you do offline. Twitter and Facebook are increasingly being fed by objects instead of people.
