Show Notes

• Host: Dan Hugo


• Summary: From our reboot in early 2022, one of our main foci, in fact our first Capstone Project, was and is the Virtual Vegas platform, all as part of an effort to Make our Smart City Smarter. We are going to need a bigger boat.

What is a Smart City anyway?

• Connection


• Communication


• Compassion


• Compute

How About a Smarter Smart City?

• Informed Consent with Transparency (Open Source, Public Visibility)


• Local Innovation


• Open Access (Open Data ++)


• Responsive and Effective (ie Listen to People, Continuous Improvement)

Somebody Should Fix That

• Problems and Issues shall not languish


• Projects are not checked boxes, Solutions are not presumed effective


• Nothing is every really done! There is almost always a way to adapt, improve, and at the very least, make easier anything we work on, why not do it because it is the right thing to do?
