Nice article by Michael Kimmelman in the New York Times about smart cities and public spaces. Apparently the two are connected. The trick is to make the most out of even small, neglected urban spots or corner. From the article, the point is to be in the middle of things. Also from the article, it’s good for business, but needs to be a public service for the common good.
