7. PART 1: THE NEED FOR SMART CITIES
7

8. ARGUMENT #1
All Cities will become Smart Cities by default because they
all are going to have 5G Wi-Fi, Sensors galore (including Face
Recognition), Smart Mobility, Smart Roads and Signs, Smart
Parking, Smart Energy, Smart Water, etc. …
That’s True!
But there is “Smart” … and then there is “Smarter”
Like people --- 110 IQ vs. 160 IQ! Smarter wins (well, usually)!
8PHILLIP ANDREWS - INT'L INNOVATION CENTERS

9. SMART RURAL COMMUNITIES ➔SMART EVERYTHING
9

10. HOWEVER …
❑ If every city installs 5G, smart poles, smart garages and
parking, smart water, smart energy … and one trillion
sensors then there is NO competitive advantage.
❑ Technology is just “the ante to stay in the game”
❑ Competitive advantage comes from uniqueness and
differentiation, such as smart people and smart
industries (attracted by the right “magnets”).
10

11. ARGUMENT #2
One cannot have:
Smart Cities full of Dumb Factories
or
Smart Factories thriving in Dumb Cities
They need to move into the future together! TRUE!

They are the two sides of the same coin!

13. SMART ATTRACTS SMART!

From Frost & Sullivan
Note: This is NOT an
all-inclusive depiction
of all that is involved!
Add:
• Smart Education
• Smart Businesses
• Smart Culture/Arts
• Smart Institutions …

14. ARGUMENT #3
The competitive attitude about everything is now affecting
cities. The cities that will survive will be the ones that know
how to leverage “Smart” to the fullest. There is a lot of pride
riding behind the competitive spirit! There is a Smart Cities
War Going on!
“Smart” means leveraging the latest megatrends and
business concepts, utilizing the latest technologies, and
employing the best resources, especially smart people. It is the
only way to ensure that the city is sustainable and resilient.
14

15. YES, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A SMART CITIES
WAR (SIMILAR TO THE ONGOING TECHNOLOGICAL WAR)
15
Competitive advantage matters!

16. THE WINNER ENJOYS
❑ Better jobs ➔ More Prosperity ➔ Better Future
❑ Better healthcare, best doctors
❑ Better education; best teachers, professors, mentors
❑ Smart Mobility, Smart Infrastructure (incl. Smart Water, Smart
Energy, Smart Waste Management …)
❑ Better and Smarter Services
❑ Better Government (enhanced citizen engagement)
❑ Better opportunities
❑ Reduced environmental opportunity; healthier lifestyles

17. 17
It’s not just
architecture,
infrastructure,
and amenities
that matter!
QoL matters
the most!
Do we know
what that
means?
… But beauty CANNOT be skin deep!

18. 18
Which city would
most people choose?
Scientists project that in the next
40 years, 80% of the world’s
population will live in large cities.
But “large” is NOT good enough!
Cities have to be beautiful!

19. 19
They care about:
• Quality of Life (QoL)
• Means to great education
• Access to great health care
• Access to great transportation
• Access to healthy food
• Great sports
• Great entertainment
• Great culture
• Great fun
• Continuous improvement
• Pride in the city

20. ARGUMENT #4
Every Industrial Revolution
had Winners
and Losers
21
Do you remember The Rust Belt?

own Winners
and Losers

Plus:
Bridgeport, CT
Danbury, CT
Waterbury, CT
…
Most of the affected cities
started to recover
40+ years later
Chicago is one of the very few cities that
reinvented itself very quickly!
Detroit started reinventing itself 10 years ago!

Now they are museums

23. SOME FACTS ABOUT THE RUST BELT
Detroit was the 4th largest city in America with bright future and was
considered a key city (the epicenter) of the 2nd Industrial Revolution (2IR)
3IR came and Detroit missed the boat ➔ Today Detroit is 18th
 Ft. Worth is now bigger than Detroit
 Arlington is now bigger than Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Toledo is no longer the Glass Capital of the World
Akron is no longer the Tire Capital of the World
… and Buffalo is now only famous for its Buffalo Wings

26. PART 2: HOW IS THE SMART CITIES
WAR FOUGHT?
27

27. THERE ARE BASICALLY 4 WAYS
1. Attracting great people (best Doctors, Professors, Thought
Leaders, Strategists, Poets, Artists … Entrepreneurs (the likes of
Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk)), and great businesses
(usually large corporations). Examples: AT&T, Amazon, MS,
Google, IBM, AA, TI, Boeing
2. Embedding other right “Magnets” in Urban Planning and
Economic Development Plans
28

28. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER (NON-
TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN) MAGNETS?
❑ Exceptional Urban Planning
❑ Parks, Fountains, Gardens, Roads, Highways, Infrastructure, Airports,
Ports, … Other Amenities
❑ Great Architecture, Great Art, Great Sculptures, Great Museums …
❑ Great Entertainment
❑ Theaters, Restaurants, Bars, Clubs, Sports, Theme Parks …
❑ Great “atmosphere”
❑ Events, Celebrations, “Ceremonies”, Festivities, Monuments, Shrines,
Temples, …
