The Internet of Cities and Regions

Metropolitan regions everywhere feature sharp contrasts between prosperity and stagnation. Investment, talent and innovation tend to flow into the urban centers and bypass the outer areas, except in those cases where it is the inner city that has stagnated while the suburbs and exurbs expand.  This panel session explores the urban-suburban-rural divide that characterizes metropolitan regions around the world, as well as the opportunities to bridge that divide.  Moderated by Louis Zacharilla, Co-Founder, ICF and Douglas McCullough, CIO of the City of Dublin, Ohio.  .   

Panelists Include:

  • Nathalie Crutzen, Associate Professor & Director of the Smart City Institute, HEC Liege, University of Liege, Belgium

The Internet of People

More than geography separates the digital “haves” from the “have-nots” in a metropolitan region.  The deepest divide is between those who know how to use information to advance their careers and enrich their lives, and those who do not.  This panel asks what is truly needed to shatter the divide and bring more of our citizens into the broadband economy.  Moderated by Mary Lee Kennedy, Intelligent Community Strategist.
