Almost a century since the idea of creating more humane - more human-centric - cities was brought to the fore, how far has mankind progressed towards creating a true city with a heart? How far off are we, and what can we do to close the gap?


The first generation of smart cities showed the limits of top-down planning, in which cities contracted out design and implementation to IT providers. As residents resented paying high taxes for smart urban features that they did not want or use, it became plain that smart cities were not sustainable, and needed to be re-thought. Smart City 2.0 starts the design process with understanding the needs of human residents. Little has yet been written about smart cities' second wind.
