62. Design for Smarter Cities
• Your citizens know more than you.
• Don’t separate the design and development process
• Embrace self-organization & civic initiative, but help to make the
results sustainable and scalable.
• Never rely on consultants that will sell consultancy, not solutions.
• Have binding decisions made at the lowest level possible and
actively preach self-governance.
• Small, connected systems tend to fail sometimes; large systems will
fail for sure.
• Build systems based on reciprocity and transparency.
• Reuse existing parts and design your additions for reuse, adding to
the public domain and strengthening its capacity to act and learn.
