Earlier this
month, the Smart Cities Council announced that leaders from a number of cities
across the U.S. are evaluating a beta version of the Council’s Readiness Guide.
The Readiness Guide is a how-to manual for building tomorrow’s cities today by
enabling cities to self-assess their readiness to innovate. Mayors and their
smart city teams from Hartford, Dallas, Baltimore, Orlando, and Green Bay have
been evaluating the Guide’s usefulness to determine the next steps toward
transformation. The Readiness Guide, created by the Smart Cities Council
Advisory Board and Partners, offers a unique holistic view of a city’s future –
including the built environment, energy, transportation, communications, water,
health and human services, and public safety.
The Smart
Cities Council will continue to work with city leaders across the U.S. to gain
feedback, followed by Europe, Asia and Latin America. The Readiness Guide will
be officially launched next month to cities worldwide at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
