1. Building the Smart Connected City – Piloting a
Landmark FTTH Inner City Project at 1 Gbps
Partnership for Urban Innovation
Global Conference 2010
June 17-18, 2010 Shanghai, China
LEV GONICK, CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER

2. “The coming of the global village will inevitably mean that the city
as a form of major dimensions must inevitably dissolve like the
fading shot in a movie.” Marshall McLuhan, media theorist (1964)
IN THE BEGINNING

4. “The era of the computer and the communications satellite is
inhospitable to the high density city.” Anthony Pascal: The
Vanishing City, (1987)
ICT AND THE COLLAPSE OF
CITIES?

6. “In many ways, if cities did not exist, it now would not be necessary
to invent them.” Naisbitt and Aburdene (1991).
IN THE FUTURE

8. “At the moment, it is as if we occupy two worlds at once, especially
in our congested cities: the physical world of clogged roads, which
is inefficient, slow moving, rigid, and the immaterial world of
computers and communications in which we can work at the touch
of a button. The ease of use and responsiveness of the new,
immaterial economy will make us increasingly frustrated with our
experience of the cumbersome old economy of physical machines
and roads.” Charles Leadbeater, (2000)
BUT FOR THE MOMENT …
