Smart Cities

Here’s a free webinar on smart cities from research firm Frost and Sullivan that I think I’ll attend.  They see the subject growing in importance to a $3.3 trillion industry by 2025.

Needless to say, that’s a huge amount of money – yet, when you understand the hundreds of different sub-categories that all feed together into the overall “smart cities” concept, the number doesn’t seem so far-fetched.

I hope readers were able to catch the webinar that I did on smart cities in July with Jesse Berst, internationally known technology and business analyst, founder and chief analyst of  Smart Grid News.com, and founder and Chairman of the  Smart Cities Council.  If not, it’s archived here; I hope you’ll check this out, and discover what Jesse means when he says that the council’s motto is “Livability, Workability, and Sustainability.”
