Google ends plans for smart city in Toronto
Google doesn't need to invest in the gadgets and electronics in the walls that <i>appear</i> to make cities smarter.<p>That money would be better spent on enabling city governments, elected policymakers, and especially their constituents <i>to be smarter and able to make better choices and designs about city planning, building permits, incentives, taxation, traffic, etc</i> better.<p>The rest will follow.   What we need is for people to understand how to choose better for themselves.  Not a technology patch.
