![Page 21: PREPARING YOUR GEORGIA SMART COMMUNITY APPLICATION · 2019-10-28 · preparing your georgia smart community application leigh hopkins, aicp greg mccormick. march 29 th, 2019](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062414/5ec892be4b6bd71ac95ffdac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WHY GO “SMART”?
The Age of Acceleration
• The rate of technological change is exponential.
• Law of Accelerating Returns (Kurzweil, 2001)
“We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century — it will be more like 20,000
years of progress (at today’s rate).”
• Presents challenges for competitiveness and the ability to adapt.
What does this mean for communities?
![Page 22: PREPARING YOUR GEORGIA SMART COMMUNITY APPLICATION · 2019-10-28 · preparing your georgia smart community application leigh hopkins, aicp greg mccormick. march 29 th, 2019](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062414/5ec892be4b6bd71ac95ffdac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHY GO “SMART”?
It’s Not Just Technology….but Civic Transformation• Cloud computing lowers the costs of storing
information
• Machine learning puts advanced analytical tools in the hands of city officials
• Internet of Things (IoT) and the rise of sensors that can track and share information by “talking” to other systems
• Apps and mobile devices enable citizens and city workers to monitor problems and feed information about them back to the city
![Page 23: PREPARING YOUR GEORGIA SMART COMMUNITY APPLICATION · 2019-10-28 · preparing your georgia smart community application leigh hopkins, aicp greg mccormick. march 29 th, 2019](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062414/5ec892be4b6bd71ac95ffdac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CONSIDERATIONS
When designing your project approach…• Align with existing plans
• Define your strategy with a tech-focused vision
• Leverage the resources in your REGION to build support and capacity
• The Hook: How is this plan unique, and what’s it going to do for your community/region?
