Key findings by NESTA, a UK think tank

Many ‘top down’ smart city ideas have failed to deliver on their promise, combining high costs and low returns.

‘Collaborative technologies’ offer cities another way to make smarter use of resources, smarter ways of collecting data and smarter ways to make decisions.

Collaborative technologies can also help citizens themselves shape the future of their cities.
