Interesting article on the future of Towns and Cities in the Drum Magazine – and I don’t just say that because I’m quoted in it!
My key points cover:
From dere-street.com: Smart Cities interview in ‘Urban Realm’
I was interviewed in the April 2013 edition of Urban Realm magazine for their feature on Smart Cities following Glasgow’s designation as a ‘Smart City‘.
The main things I covered are how UK cities use information, how information will change urban service delivery, and the importance of creating Smart Citizens if we are to use information wisely.
Just a wee heads up that I’ll be speaking at the 2012 PPA Digital Publishing Conference on Wednesday 26 September in London. The conference theme is ‘Into the Future’, and I’ll be exploring some of the opportunities surrounding the smart cities initiatives for providers of digital data services, designed to raise business efficiency or improve consumer access to public sector content.
