Dear smart citizens and urban innovators,
Welcome to the first ever Smart Cities - Startup Digest!
As urbanization drives
rapid growth in our cities worldwide, the rising problems in mobility, energy,
governance, education, healthcare or security demand collaboration on a truly
global scale to guarantee smart city sustainability, workability and
liveability.
Every week, we'll be sharing a collection of new articles covering innovations and developments in a wide range of topics like urban planning, e-government, connected things, open data, civic tech and sustainability.
I hope you enjoy the reading - if you do, please spread the love and share!
See you next week, cheers
