Smart Cities: Solving Urban Problems Using Technology 

First step to 15 minutes cities. Virtual prisons

People always see the positive side because that's how marketing works. The negative sides will be downplayed just by accusing the critics of "conspiracy theories". It works all the time.

My thoughts exactly. Simply get the cars off the roads, encourage better public transit or increase the number of bike lanes and walking paths within the city

In toronto, bike lanes are not a great solution because of the long painful winter. PT and walkable areas with their own amenities and attractions are amazing repeatable solutions (we have underground walkable areas in toronto for winter too)

Agree!!!!

Sometimes people / companies try to come up with an innovation but the real solution has been spoken about for decades and it is generally really simple. All architects and urbanists (designers and planners) would be able to solve these problems if politics and economic interests allow them to

ofc it can solve the problem but its some 18th century thinking they think in 21st century, use tech to collect data then boom problem solved (?)

Yes! "They" are planning to use "technology" to collect "data" to solve "problems" ... That's.... 21st Century Thinking™

NORTH CAROLINA-GEO WATCH exactly sounds like an excuse for global communism if you ask me, Margaret Thatcher was right all along

@NORTH CAROLINA-GEO WATCH I know, right?! Using science, technology and data to solve problems.... so stupid! What is wrong with these people!

I believe that occupational groups should work collaboratively if they want to find a solution.for example people can be encouraged to use bicycle or something like that so some problems can be solved naturally without the effort of a city planner

I personally ride an electric cargo bike, but any mode of personal transport will provide good maneuverability and ability to park : )

CtOS data wasn't open source but I like the comparison

Ok

Is this sarcasm?

@@GoSuMonSteR I don’t even think it hints at sarcasm and I’m sticking to it.

I agree.

cars means freedom the criminal bankers who fund the fake global waring scam , want to take away all our freedoms , co2 is 00.049% of the atmosphere , co2 is life , all life is carbon , co2 is good makes all plants grow fast better and produce more fruit , the anti carbon agenda is an anti human agenda anti life agenda , zero carbon means zero humans and zero life , you are being lied too !

@@josephnash9758 you ok man?

@@ReasonableRadio from your reply i guess you dont know much

@@josephnash9758 this man knows the great conspiritorial truth but doesnt know how to make a statment without rambling like a lunatic.

Audie Murphy Please explain

I always say that...a futuristic dictatorship ran by bots running off of zombies who programmed to them rule over us humans

Yes! And Trudeau freezing the truckers' bank accounts was prelude for the CBDCs they're set to roll out. All this BS is about One World Government, where privacy, freedom, civil liberties, and personal property all become passe'.

First it will be bugs.

Facepalm

Piss off you brain-dead sheep.

It is the model they are basing all this crap on. Welcome to the gulag. By the way, this guy will live in LUXURY, driving a nice car whilst you walk.

Democracy and equity. It is not ok to build a society where some are rich and most others are not. A city or society has to be measured by the happiness or wellbeing of it's people - all people; not just privileged ones.

Kissa Deff This is a shockingly primitive comment.

@@Yanaschaf some are rich because they work hard. It is not up to others to tell me what to do with my money. And power will always exist in the human mind and so the communism would be a much worse choice. Are you aware of the genecide that is caused by communism and the lack of freedom in a communist society or are you just dumb?

ReasonableRadio I’m chinese and I’m not even offended

It's also in Europe that most of research on smart cities are made, investment and initiatives too. There is a lot of infrastructural problems in modern urban centers that can be solved by replanning and rebuilding, but it takes a lot more money and time than technological solutions. We really shouldn't put technology on everything that we see, we have to analyze the problem and find the best fitting solution. But considering that in the next years even more people will be drawn to the urban areas as opposed to the rural areas, technology IS a good solution to consider when thinking about the problems that these sudden increase in population will bring

I wouldn't doubt it. "Smart Cities" is WEF speak for NWO and global control. Decentralize, people!

You'll soon have to cross Kyiv off your list.

fsix YOU are part of a very dangerous crowd....YOU are just one sheep in a large flock of mind-controlled idiots that actually believe the government cares about the good of the people. You believe statistics as if the government would never lie to you. How DARE you say people need to be "forced" into doing things such as riding a bike. I don't want to ride a fucking bike! Neither you nor the government have the right to "control" me. How scary is a person like you! I had to read your comment three times to make sure I wasn't mis reading your message. Nobody needs to be controlled - this is what they WANT you to believe so that you can help push the agenda of a big government that wants control of every aspect of our lives under the guise of "sustainable development" or resiliency or climate change or global warming. It's all a bunch of hogwash and if you weren't brainwashed, the truth would be revealed to you. People do NOT need to be "controlled" indirectly, directly, or otherwise. There IS no overpopulation. Until we are literally should to shoulder in our neighborhoods walking down the sidewalk, I will see it as a lie. Again, you and others like you are the enemy.

@@zariballard I can tell you have reviewed your reply I really like how well it was written. Good job really. The fact of the matter is we are humans and the only things really distinguish us form maybe social animals is the complexity of our rules which literally control us. We are controlled weather you like it or not. And it's not necessary a bad thing. No. Government cares about it's citizen and the well being of it's people or at least that is the purpose of such an organization. It's a good talking point that "government doesn't care about us".

This scumbag won't cycle to work or anywhere. His sort tell others what to do, but will drive a nice car and take luxury holidays via an air-polluting passenger jet.

@@zariballard Soooo what would you suggest as the alternative?

fuck bicycles & those who ride them. If they want to ride them they Must obey the traffic laws.

Yes city centers should go analog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,on bikes.

Then tell us your vision

@@ManishKalyan-gx2wi no government and no zombie technology corps running our lives!

totally

@@ManishKalyan-gx2wi walkable cities my friend. they exist.

Stefan Lazarevic, If you carry a phone with you they know where you go and what you say and what you write and what you read and view. Sounds to me like a dystopia from a science fiction book, but it is not fiction it is shurely surreal. There cameras in computers and Smart Tvs. The smart watches make it more convenient to wear because if you are in range of a blue tooth receiver it is collecting billions of bytes about you.

It's for your own good...trust m e

@@daviddreyer5817 you can control what your phone does and there are certain tricks you can do to counter that. Nice try buddy.

We (with or without permission) are trading our privacy for security and it's normal not to trust it and nothing much we could do about it I think

@@desmondclark3193 fill me in some tricks to control what your phone does

I came here to see how I could avoid a smart home, then this💯

Horatio KJV Bible yes he is.

Good point!

not really.

pussy

Why? You long for a planet controlled by the WEF and Schwab, Gates, and Soros???

The eugenicists beat you to it.

Here, hear! And listen to the propaganda they use to market this tyranny. Like it's convenient, practical, and "smart." And the sheep eat it up!

Research "social credit system" and "China." Then you'll understand what's coming.

Keep tuned. There's more to come!

Ever heard of 1984 George Orwell? I can throw away a phone if I so choose. But not the dystopia!

Sounds like a nightmare. Nature is way better and how it was intended.

It's always interesting these smart zombie operations always have masonic handcodes

Too late for the liberal sheep. Time to head to the hinterlands, find like-minded people, and decentralize!

YES

Personal cars and cities don't go together. What if EVERYONE in the city had a car... yeah, didn't think of that did you?

I want car for the joy of driving. But using car for daily commute is freaking stressful.

Being a car enthusiast is fine, same as someone being into horse riding is fine. But don't try to hold back society just because owning a car is part of your identity. We can't sustain our big cities if everyone drives and most people wouldn't need to drive if they had other options.

+Josh Young That's a pretty good saying! If the people that love to ride horses would act like this in the early 20th centuary, we wouldn't be that mobile now.

Exactly!
