The Internet of Things (IoT), applications, and data should not define Smart Cities. The process by which they solve problems should. Smart Cities are innovative problem solvers, collaborative partners, and technology enthusiasts, in that order.

In our work, we’ve learned a lot about what smart government looks like and how to build it. In this “Elements of Smart Government” resource, we share the eight threads that tie many of our smart governments together.
