The buzz: “Building a smart city? Follow the money” (placemeter.com).

We’ll ask practitioners from public private partnerships. The experts speak. Gert Christen, City Innovate Foundation: “Managing urban areas has become one of the most important development challenges of the 21st century” (John Wilmoth). Andrew Mack, AMGlobal Consulting: “The potential for greatness lives within each of us” (Wilma Rudolph). Jennifer Sanders, Dallas Innovation Alliance: “I’m tired of my own complaints. I need to get some new thoughts” (As Good As It Gets). Marlyn Zelkowitz, SAP: “We build too many walls and not enough bridges” (Isaac Newton).
