Adam Greenfield makes an important and interesting point at Picnic 2011: the institutions (IBM, Cisco, Siemens, etc) developing “smart cities”, as we know the term, “do not have a sense of urbanism”, ” probably do not love the places they are developing for “,  “probably have not thought of the idea of love and the idea of a city, and how these things might relate to one another”: these are the things that “make cities valuable”.

via humanscalecities:

So where do we find ourselves, after a solid decade of smart city rhetoric? What was promised to us, what has been delivered, what were the results, and what remains possible?
