I’m in the process of digesting and summarizing my experiences at last week’s Smarter Cities NYC event and will be blogging a summary shortly; in the meantime, check out http://smarterplanet.tumblr.com and hashtag #smartercities.
Relatively unrelated to this event (I think), a new rating of the ‘smartest cities’ in the US was just published today. The top seven are:
#1: Raleigh-Durham
#2: San Francisco – Oakland – San Jose
#3: Boston
#4: Minneaoplis – St. Paul
#5: Denver
#6: Hartford – New Haven
#7 (tie): Seattle-Tacoma
#7 (tie): Washington, DC
