Smart Cities? Smart CITIZENS

“If you search on a combination of ‘Smart’, ‘Cities’ and ‘Community’ there are plenty of examples of the term ‘Smart City’ being used to promote different cities but far less of it being used to acknowledge proactive activities by or with real people.” Dave Carter – Head of MDDA http://www.manchesterdda.com/2011/03/09/smart-cities-the-new-original-modern-or-the-techno-empire-strikes-back/

Dan Hill - Manifesto

“The city is its people. We don’t make cities in order to make buildings and infrastructure. We make cities in order to come together, to create wealth, culture, more people… Enter the smart citizens. … Despite the heavy, infrastructure-led visions of the systems integrators and IT corporations, the most interesting and productive use of contemporary technology in the city is here, literally in the hands of citizens.” http://www.cityofsound.com/blog/2013/02/on-the-smart-city-a-call-for-smart-citizens-instead.html#more
