With the ongoing rise of the right, this subtitle is a reality now. Dysfunctional #nations is certainly the case in the U.K.. but how can #cities here overcome this? #governance #democracy #urbancentres

Couldn't agree more! #smartcities #industry 4.0

[Lior Steinberg @LiorSteinberg]

Smart city has nothing to do with artificial intelligence or sensors.
A city is smart when children can walk and cycle freely and safely. Technology is only a bonus.

Seaweed pouches will replace thousands of plastic bottles at the London marathon.

The edible pods biodegrade within six weeks if they're not eaten — a far cry from the 450 or more years it takes a plastic bottle to decompose. https://t.co/WgQLzVI8fs
