Do Smart Cities Really Exist?
A look inside smart city development with the Chief Innovation Officer from Kansas City, Missouri

Ok - I said it. I'm a Chief Innovation Officer trying to build one, just like hundreds of my colleagues in government, industry, academia and the non-profit / think tank world. But as far advanced as Kansas City, Missouri is, we're not there yet. We have an awesome Smart District adjacent to our Streetcar Line, and we have a plan to move from being a "Cool City" to a "Smart City" within the next four years. There is a lot of work to get done in that time.
