“Smart City” is a Silicon Valley brand. It is a vision of the future where our cities are panopticons where our governments and a handful of corporations get smarter about us. Smart Citizen is a rejection of this Silicon Valley imperialism. It is the opposite of a Smart City.
The Internet was started “by the commons” (and by that, I mean with taxpayer money) so yes, definitely. Our project is one example. We do and should be funding public infrastructure from the public purse if we don’t want it to be privately-owned and controlled.
