Smart Cities & The Internet of Things (IoT)

Are smart cities a laboratory for politics? Mayors and deputy mayors of seven important European regional capitals, all committed to smart cities, give voice to their (political) priorities on such initiatives:
- Citizens first, rather than technology first
- Innovation
- Importance of learning by doing
- Quality of life
- Social responsiveness
- Make tech tools and information readily available to citizens

And... so far there is no template, no "one-size-fits-all."
