In this edition of The INTELLIGENT Community Podcast, Soul of the City ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla speaks with Michel Bomtempo, Mayor, Assaí, Paraná, Brazil, Maurice Olivers, Manager, PR & Communications, Brightlands-Limburg, Igor Oliveira, Secretary of Science, Assaí, Paraná, Brazil, Jaime Santamarta, Councillor, Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain, and Jimmy Wang, Planner, III, Yunlin County, Taiwan.
In the last roundtable with this year’s Top Seven Intelligent Communities of the Year, leaders from every corner of the globe discuss how they achieved this honor, are preparing for the big announcement on October 15th in Columbus, Ohio and how they will react if chosen as #1.
From Brazil to Spain to Taiwan they open up to Lou about their success, what literally keeps them up night and how they define the “soul” of their community. It’s a fascinating 70 minutes with four places (one of which is home to the 2026 World Cup team) that define a positive vision for our collective future.
