Moreover, We Have To Deal With Several
Undeclared Wars
1. Cultural War
2. Trade/Economic War
3. Cybersecurity War
4. Terrorist War (Permawar -- actually, all of them are permawars)
5. Drug War
6. Ideological War (Sociopolitical War)
7. Tech War (AI, 5G, Sentient Robots, Networld, etc.)
8.Innovation War (incl. Smart Cities War)

Some Of The Consequences Of Those Wars
• Cybersecurity will be paramount is surviving the
craziness of the connected worlds
• Many professions will disappear
• Several new professions will emerge, but most of
them will require college degree(s)
• The ideological wars will force changes in the
sociopolitical system
• The gap between the “Haves” and “Have-Nots” will
increase creating all kinds of new problems

The Smart Cities War Explained
•Smart Cities will thrive; BAU Cities will wither
•Smart Cities will attract the best of the best – they
always did
• Smart People
• Smart Businesses / Smart Factories
• Smart Everything
•Smart Cities are guaranteed to have a
bright (sustainable, resilient, healthy …) future!

Reminder
Every Industrial Revolution
had
and Losers
24
Do you remember The Rust Belt?

Some Facts About The Rust Belt
• Detroit was the 5th largest city in America with bright future and was
considered a key city (the epicenter) of the 2nd Industrial Revolution (2IR)
• 3IR came and Detroit missed the boat  Today Detroit is 18th
• Ft. Worth is now bigger than Detroit
• Arlington is now bigger than Cleveland and Pittsburg
• Toledo is no longer the Glass Capital of the World
• Akron is no longer the Tire Capital of the World
• … and Buffalo is now only famous for its Buffalo Wings

Businesses and Cities Suffer The Same
Consequences For Not Transforming
• Here is an excerpt from the Digital
Transformation book written by Thomas Siebel:
“Since 2000, 52% of the F-500 companies have
either been acquired, merged, or have declared
bankruptcy … 40% of the companies in existence
today will shutter their operations in the next 10
years.”

Did You Know?
• Over 85% of the F-500 have disappeared since I graduated from
college in the early ‘70s. Some examples:
• Penn Central, Baltimore and Ohio …
• Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, Braniff …
• Amdahl, Palm, Atari, Compaq, Wang …
• Polaroid, KODAK …
• Blockbuster Video …
• RCA, NCR …
• American Motors  Chrysler  Fiat
• International Harvester  CASE  Fiat

Some of them still exist, but they
are limping along!

Winners Gain All The Benefits
Smart Business Leaders 
Great Inventions and Innovations  Smart
Products 
Great Economic Development  Great Jobs and
Salaries  Great QoL  Sustainable Communities

Key Realization #1
However, great businesses
and jobs are not enough for a
bright future!

Key Realization #2
Cities must have the right
“magnets”
in order to grow and thrive

32
This applies to
people, as well for
cities!
What is your city’s
vibe?
Intellectual?
Cosmopolitan?
Sin?
Old West?

Las Vegas Got Part Of It Right!
(Great Architecture, Exceptional Urban Planning, Great Entertainment)

What Are Some Of The Key Magnets?
• Smart People
• Best Doctors, Professors, Thought Leaders, Strategists, Poets, Artists …
• Exceptional Urban Planning
• Parks, Fountains, Gardens, Roads, Highways, Infrastructure, Amenities …
• Great Architecture, Great Art
• Great Entrepreneurial and Innovation Culture
• Mentality/Attitude, Events, Celebrations, Festivities, Monuments, Shrines,
Temples, Museums …
• Great Entertainment (Theaters, Restaurants, Sports …)
• Innovative Businesses (High Employment, Great Growth)

It’s A Closed Loop System.
It’s An Engine for Smart Growth!
35
The challenge is how to make this
engine going at full power because it
fuels and stimulates:
• The overall economy
• New industries
• New jobs
• The entire city
• Better schools
• Better health care
• Better transportation
• Better services
• Better everything
• The entire Society
• Better infrastructures
• Better architecture and art
• Better entertainment …
The faster this engine works the more benefits and
rewards the Smart City realizes!

Brain Drain was real in previous decades
and centuries … and it is still real today!
Smart people go where there is “action” … and
potential to become even smarter.
It’s a basic human need.
That’s how smart people find Self-Actualization
and feed their self-esteem!
A popular seminar for the leaders of Economic Development

37
People consciously or subconsciously know that
the best people are attracted to the best places
on Earth! That’s the essence of this song:
BTW, NYC is NOT the only great place!

Smart Attracts Smart!

Smart Education
Smart Businesses
Smart Culture/Arts

The Countries
With The Best
Magnets The Last
50 Years
(Besides the US):
• Ireland
• UK
• UAE
Now China, South
Korea, and other
Asian Countries are
creating their own
super-magnets

40
Let’s take a look at Greece.
No new magnets!
Same old, same old!
Result: More Greeks live and
work outside Greece than inside
Greece!
Greece was a big loser in the first
three Industrial Revolutions and
she will be a big loser in the 4th IR
as well!

Ancient Rome
Ancient Babylon
Ancient Alexandria
“Smart
Attracts
Smart” is
NOT new!
This was true
thousands of
years ago
and it will
remain true
thousands of
years from
now!
It’s a basic
human need!

Renaissance Venice
Renaissance Florence
Renaissance Naples

Key Argument
• All Cities will become Smart Cities by default because they all
are going to have 5G, Wi-Fi, Sensors galore, Face
Recognition, Smart Mobility, Smart Roads and Signs, Smart
Parking, Smart Energy, Smart Water, etc. …
True!
• But there is “Smart” … and then there is “Smarter”
• Like people --- 110 IQ vs. 160 IQ! Smarter wins (well, usually)!
