Smart Cities - The Untold Story: Mischa Dohler at TEDxLondon City 2.0 

I was touched by your comments on the broken value chain and the fact that the infrastructure element is pushed to the limit in procurement processes. That's one reason I hate the term "The Cloud". Because something is complex, we "outsource" this complexity, we give it a simplistic name, we start thinking of it as a commodity and we subsequently squeeze the life out of the people that provide that very, very important element in the value chain. Too much simplistic thought and PowerPoint at executive levels!!!

Great and interesting talk! Particularly when you say that after gathering all these large amount of data we must DO SOMETHING with these data!

I will always remember that Tallulah answered 'Rainbows' to your question. Bless her.

Mischa, congrats with the talk! Interesting! Particularly, I liked the big action paradigm! Lets see what really will happen with big data in the future.

Very nice talk, all key issue laid down in a clear and enjoyable way... Hope there will be more coming up// cheers -F

I love it. Thank you.

At a time where our government (Mauritius) is shoving down our throats ‘smart cities’ that will wipe out the remaining agricultural land of our already small island, your presentation outlines the essential. Thank you for the arguments, will cite you in my article.

Very nice and enjoyable presentation. Inspiring. Thank you.

Great talk! I have enjoyed it from the beggining to the end. Nice detail from TED to set up the scenario to match your outfit :-)

Great video, I enjoyed the balance of humor and seriousness :) but I still don't know what open/big data is or how to use it for better citizen engagement (and I mean it)

I simply can't believe on what I have heard about citizen engagement in London. Maybe the reason is that things in the city are working perfectly and everyone is happy? Maybe there is nothing to change or improve? Well, consider what is going on in Brazil nowadays: the downturn of the economy, diseases spreading like the Black Death in the Europe in the 14th century, government ripping off the country wealth with no mercy, and so on so forth. In the mean time, the citizens are on the streets (millions) dancing and celebrating in the carnival. When one try to engage the citizens in demonstrations against the situation only a few citizens show up in the streets (because they are busy, or need to spare time to relax). At least in this country we have to develop "smart citizen" before we try to build smart cities.

Smart Mischa, as usual! Great talk and genuine kids performance! I loved it!

great video

I love the "No School" answer, and the "more sofa" is ingenious. The two girl dancing is so sweet, Dr. Dohler should had put them both on stage. By the way, what's the title of this talk?

Nice planning for smart city

4 years on? Blockchain for reliable open data?

Audio-visual out of sync. Needs uploading anew. Shame for it not to be perfect.

There's more Big Data on Big Data than Big Data itself ;)

Mischa Dohler , may be you should have interviewed people in cafe's or stores where people are a bit Relaxing not in a hush hush hurry!! Then instead of 3 There would have been 50 odd ppl speaking up in patience...

Alert: NARCISSIST found. what was this talk about? so sorry for his students if he teaches
