Do you want to find out about the latest smart city/ future city thinking in the UK. I do. So who should we follow on twitter. Well I have three people to start off with but lets have your suggestions
@dr_rick He has been working in and studying smart city actions for the last few years. His urbantechnologist blog is a must follow
@jmichaelbatty who is based at UCL and who teaches and researches on smart cities. His blog complexcity is a good place to start
And Scott Cain @futurecities13 who behind the scenes in the Technology Strategy Board has promoted the concept of the Future Cities Catapult centre – recently awarded to London and the Future Cities Demonstrator awarded to Glasgow but with Bristol, Peterborough and London also getting resources. I don’t think he has a blog!
There are others I could name but I think it would be good to get suggestions. Please tweet your suggestion (or add to my blog). One at a time with the persons twitter name and an elevator pitch and/or link with why they should be on the list. Give a good enough reason and I will add them to the list.
