What is smart cities?

 There is a lot of comments on social media about smart cities. Here is some of the results of my search:

Top 12 Smart Cities in the U.S. - Smart Cities Examples Jayna Locke, Senior Marketing Manager, Digi International

.... top 20 list before we pared it down for a range of reasons. For example, our smart cities list originally included three smart city California projects, and we wanted a better distribution across states. Additionally, we wanted to show smart cities examples portraying the full breadth of the projects and initiatives that urban areas are rolling out today.

 The full list of U.S. cities with impressive smart city applications included these six honorable mentions:

  • Fresno, California
  • Columbus, Ohio
  • Louisville, Kentucky
  • LaGrange, Georgia
  • Cedar Rapids, Iowa
  • Miami-Dade County, Florida

And here are our 12 smart cities finalists:

  • Dallas, Texas
  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Austin, Texas
  • Seattle, Washington
  • Charlotte, North Carolina
  • San Francisco, California
  • Washington DC, District of Columbia
  • Boston, Massachusetts
  • Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
  • Boulder, Colorado
  • San Jose, California
  • New York, New York

Charlotte is a good example of a smart city initiative, due to their devotion to sustainability. The city partnered with Microsoft Corporation to build out the city's digital infrastructure so that more residents can benefit from the Internet. For example, there will be greater access to public Wi-Fi, traffic monitoring to reduce congestion and air pollution as well as new training programs for public employees to help them perform better in their roles. 

Additionally, the city has rolled out a project called Envision Charlotte, a public/private collaborative that "leads Charlotte’s progress as a global Smart City through innovations that strengthen economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability and positive community impacts."

Alder wood, known for its water resistance, was primarily used, along with oak and larch. 2. The wooden piles have petrified over time – Partially true. The piles haven’t literally turned into stone (petrification), but they have become extremely hard. This is because they are submerged in oxygen-poor water, which prevents decay and allows minerals from the water to gradually reinforce the wood. 3. St. Mark’s Campanile stands on 100,000 piles – False. The bell tower is supported by about 10,000 wooden piles, not 100,000. 4. Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5. Piles are driven up to three meters deep and spaced half a meter apart – Generally accurate. The depth and spacing vary, but...
