Description:
"The idea and the rhetoric behind Smart City is one of efficiency and security. Usually they say a smart city is a city in which, if you go to work, you're always going to be on time. If you go shopping, there is no queue. You know what? You're going to feel really, really safe because of the CCTV cameras around you. It's about efficiency, security. We all know that we don't choose a city because of just efficiency and security. They make a city acceptable, but they don't make a city great. What makes a city great are fuzzy concepts, concepts that are really difficult to quantify, like beauty, happiness, these sort of things." (Daniele Quercia)
