Conclusions and Recommendations

Still open:What are smart cities – are there any?Question the notion of smart for smart's sake Scale-up - who pays?Who benefits – can citizens have a say?

Shouldn't cities ask Shouldn't cities ask more questionsmore questions?look at worst practices toofar more attention to (common ways of) measuring impacts (L.1440..!)and understanding how real, expected benefits can accrue!
