Interesting article on smart cities. However, based on the classification parameters i am amazed that London is one, specifically considering the extreme high levels of air polution registered this year.

Interesting panel discussion regarding smartcities. One important topic not so much addressed in this panel is the energy side, where a smart city should as much as possible produce the energy required to operate. Renewable technology and different types of energy storage would be a must as well as all technologies regarding water recicling and waste disposal. The SCADA systems required to manage these different distributed technologies is a real challenge.

Do YOU live in a smart city? And, well, HOW smart is it, compared to the others in Europe and North America? - or: WHAT is a smart city anyway?
