For whom is the future city "smart"? For the users, for the sustainability targets we have agreed on, or for the tech providers? I often fail to see the merits from a citizen's perspective, while it is easy to see from the provider or the owner of the data.
However, what use is all this data if the public and decision makers cannot access its meaning? The information revolution is not just about aggregating more information, but also creating better ways of visualizing it.https://globalchallenges.org/making-big-data-intuitive-the-challenge-of-representation/ …
