Adam Greenfield on Another City is Possible / PICNIC Festival 2011
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? Which cities have successfully capitalized on emergent technology, and which have made the wrong bets? Whose interests are reflected in smart city discourse, and whose have tended to be overlooked or pushed to the side?
This talk with Urbanscale founder and managing director Adam Greenfield aims to cleave hype from genuine potential, decode the claims currently being made for urban informatics, and lay out a set of criteria by which future proposals can be evaluated.

I was lucky enough to be at this conference and see this presentation. Also saw him in a panel discussion later with Bonnie Shaw and Jake Barton. I can bore you with my conference notes sometime if you like Adrian.

Would love to chat with you about this. @verdantflaneur and I watched it last night for the first time. There's a lot to enjoy in his survey of the big players – Siemens, IBM and Cisco – but also we felt he misrepresented greenfield and brownfield development in a didactic, combative way. Still I wouldn't want to live in Songdo either.
