Smart Cities. Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia. Anthony Townsend
Smart Cities. Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia. Anthony Townsend. 2013. Slate magazine says, “Townsend has collected fascinating stories of urban renewal and innovation from around the globe and packaged them into lessons that are neat and digestible”. Our City is pursuing an Intelligent City initiative and I found much useful information that applies in this book. I especially found his views of bottom up initiatives useful as that is the model my City is using. He references many organizations and website that have some valuable ideas and programs for any City to investigate. Very much worth the read and this is an author to follow.
The introduction is available at npr.org.
