Carlo Ratti is not a fan of the term "smart city."
For the director of MIT's SENSEable City Lab, who was in Sydney, Australia, for the Media Architecture Biennale, the term favours technology over people. In his view, the emphasis should be on using new digital tools that improve quality of life and empower citizens.
"The Internet, which has changed our lives over the past few years, is now entering physical space to become the Internet of things," he told Mashable Australia. "'Smart cities' is simply the application of the Internet of things at the scale of a city."
