Kristian Jensen: what is a smart city?

New Zealand | Thursday, 17 January 2019

Kristian Jensen his thoughts about the Smart Cities of the future. Smart cities don’t happen by accident, they are crafted and built. We have a choice.

We can make what we want, but we need to decide what it is that we want. What are the goals? What environment do we want to live in? How do we want to be spending our time?

You can talk about robots and artificial intelligence, etc, but they are subservient to what we want and where we want to be, how we want to interact with our family. Do we want to be in a green space playing soccer with our kids, or do we want to be slaving away in a factory?
