Expectation vs Reality 3.0

Below articles talk about smart cities. My last lecture mention about masdar city. My first thought was.. smart cities and remember all of these articles.

Not smart enough cities

Almost smart cities

Yet so close to smart cities

So.. Expectation vs Reality 3.0. What is the relation?

The last Expectation vs Reality (EvR) 2.2 summary that all about adaptation. This Blog will tell you how and try to picture what is it going to be when you archived the position of 'already adapt person'.

First article mention about 'not so' sustainable masdar city. In my opinion?even a starchitect like Norman Foster could made a mistake. Anyway, the title of the article talk about smart cities that require a good Architect. It doesn't have to be the best, but a good one.

Second article talk about utopian idea. Talking about the same idea with the first article. It is true that smart city development needs a very neat planning system. And that is where Architect needed. Or is it??

Last article. Simple..smart cities just need smart citizen. I agree with that.


Smart cities is a city that needs gigantic amount of data transfer. What for?information.. what else??remember the article about shifting global trend?people can work everywhere??yup that's it.. You can work almost from everywhere but you have to stay in the grid, yes?simple.

Now, why do the smart cities need smart citizens?simple, smart citizens ready to change easy to adapt.. once again, ADAPT!!

Forget about flying cars!!start to change your behaviour!!
