“The trouble with paternalists is that
they want to make impossibly
profound changes, and they choose
impossibly superficial means for
doing so.” (Jacobs, 2000)

Smart Cities?
Smart CITIZENS
“If you search on a combination of ‘Smart’,
‘Cities’ and ‘Community’ there are plenty of
examples of the term ‘Smart City’ being used
to promote different cities but far less of it
being used to acknowledge proactive
activities by or with real people.”

Dan Hill - Manifesto
“The city is its people. We don’t make cities in
order to make buildings and infrastructure. We
make cities in order to come together, to create
wealth, culture, more people… Enter the smart
citizens. … Despite the heavy, infrastructure-led
visions of the systems integrators and IT
corporations, the most interesting and
productive use of contemporary technology in
the city is here, literally in the hands of citizens.”
