Karl Smith Experience Consultant, Usability, Scotland #Smart #Business is #Smarter not locating to a #SmartCity

Just as humanity is starting to deal with business processes that should never have been digitized we might also consider the huge waste in making Smart Cities when we no longer need cities. Watching humanity evolve in retrospect it is easy to spot the errors and poor judgement, but humanity is on the cusp of a revolution so profound it calls into question the structure of our societies. Think for a moment, why do we need cities? They create centralization of people and resources however they also drive costs as often space is insufficient for demand. There is a huge dependency on the need for workspace, shops and local living accommodation. In a Smart Economy with people engaged in Smart Living people rely on digital communications not face to face engagements.
