The results will go far beyond added technical skills to the cities we know or we will build. It will be about a deep metamorphosis. It will be about building the cities of the future that will combine brick, mortar, knowledge, collaboration and empowerment.

"I think that the model of "intelligent cities" (...) misses this opportunity to urbanize the technologies they mobilize, and futilely seeks to eliminate incompleteness. The planners of intelligent cities, notably Songdo in South Korea actually make these technologies invisible, and hence put them in command rather than in dialogue with users. One effect is that intelligent cities represent closed systems, and that is a pity. It will cut their lives short. They will become obsolete sooner."

Saskia Sassen "Open Source Urbanism" DOMUS June 2011Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology, Columbia UniversityNumerous books and the famous “The Global City” (Princeton University Press 1991/2001).

"Is it possible for developers in “new” cities like Masdar or Palava in India to be able to comprehensively map out how the city will work and anticipate its problems (...)?

What saddens me is that we’ve been down this road before — time and time again, in fact, in the latter part of the twentieth century. We know how this story ends, and it isn’t pretty. There’s a reason why Corbusian total planning is thoroughly discredited.Understanding why top-down total planning doesn’t, and can’t, produce vital human communities from scratch is something that smart-city enthusiasts might have gleaned from even a cursory review of the urbanist canon."
