"A city is more than just a collection of buildings, streets, parks, and people, and the many different entities engaged in many different trades.

Its a living environment of different cultures, peoples, ideas and systems that are interdependent yet all determine and shape the others identity."

The story of smarter cities -- told through simple narration, music and illustrations.

  • Youtube "Savior Machine David Bowie".

    That's my response to this video.

  • this story and the telling of it can sustain repeated viewings; its mysteries reward exploration.

  • I enjoyed this story immensely and the lessons it teaches. For me its purpose is to see the wonderful possibilities that lie hidden in the familiar ...and what we take for granted.

  • Nice quote.. I was also thinking of the great Jane Jacobs when watching this. Her spirit lives on.

  • such salient ideas .... and well stated. much respect.

  • As the urban writer/activist Jane Jacobs once wrote: "Intricate minglings of different uses in cities are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order."

    Nice video. I just watched it again.

  • I agree ...I was really happy to see a focus on people and liveability to the more classic discussions of physical infrastructure. It reminds us that becoming a successful smart city is a complex and multidimensional undertaking.

    Very effective narration and illustrations.

  • I like how the critical human aspect of smart cities is mentioned here. This is an excellent video.

  • The capital of New Mexico is Santa Fe, not Albuquerque.

  • Encouraging, relaxing video told with amazing gentleness, calm sense of purpose.
