Spatial data is increasingly critical. I work for independent innovation analysts, 2thinknow. We created an Innovation Cities Framework to assist cities to create change - to improve economic and social performance. What we have is 'implementation' framework for cities. In many cases a cloud/mobility is a part of that infrastructure. There's more info on the website: http://www.innovation-cities.com - we've just released this week the Innovation Cities Analysis Report outlining how to achieve change. Keep innovating, Sam Martijn,

We created an Innovation Cities Framework to assist cities to create change – to improve economic and social performance. What we have is ‘implementation’ framework for cities.

In many cases a cloud/mobility is a part of that infrastructure.

Somehow we have to move beyond urban philosophy to expound real theories about real phenomena and how they are experiened by people in the city, not in an hypothesis. I can't criticize any of these presentations for lack of creativity, insight, and good logic -- but the overall impression of too many prognostications, at least to this reader, is that we create much ado by way of pronouncements but don't change anything or alter any trajectories by doing so. Cities today are alternately wonderful and awful experiences. In the digital world, what concretely can be done to increase the woner and decrease the awful? And who will do it? Why, with what, and how? Fascinating conversation, but somehow just that.
