Smart City's

Strategy into Execution

Smart City's face new and complicated challenges as our world evolves, and policymakers must acknowledge that a deeper grasp of their specific context is necessary to avoid a rush to implement generic, universal innovation patterns.
Public value can only be increased by collaborating with academics and practitioners to better understand the importance of context for cities and the people who live in them.
These leaders must learn how a lack of context is making it difficult for their cities and their partners to respond quickly and effectively to the increasing challenges caused by massive shifts in the distribution of the world's population from rural areas to urban areas and from small urban areas to large urban areas.
If these lessons are not learned, investments in all kinds of technologies are being made even when the context necessary for value to be created by those investments is missing.
