Mark Kleinman from GLA kicks off day 2 of our #SmartCities with keynote on digital innovation and economic strategy.

[Rob Kitchin @RobKitchin]

Talks at @CASAUCL event on smart cities & planning v interesting. Lots of critique of implementation, but also affirmation/deepening of #smartcities ideas and neoliberal ideology which seem to beyond rethinking/remaking. Basic message is idea sound, implementation so far poor

Final presentation for day 1 by @jmichaelbatty on Quant, a web-based model built with Richard Milton

My suggestion is that smart city strategies should start from what the problem is rather than assuming disruption is the answer. Perhaps stability, certainty, security of service is? And maybe not tech at all. https://t.co/oVEloSWGYa
