Not sure if many have seen this, but there are few disturbing and (seemingly) fundamentally flawed arguments being discussed, in the context of Smart Cities, what they should aim to achieve, and how. There seems to be almost no discussion of the collateral damage that these could bring, bringing in greater divide in the society of haves and have-nots, but resorting to private police-force, to retain order. Not that the ills being discussed, do not exist already, but this may even seem like a move to codify and ratify the ills as constitutionally acceptable norm, but within the confines of the smart cities. Since smart-cities have everything to do with IT and communications, though a lot more... thought that it might be of interest to this group. https://aamjanata.com/smart-cities-cleverly-disguised-corporate-colonies/ It might be easy to brush aside arguments as "conspiracy theories", but the title of the Smart Cities being cleverly disguised corporate colonies, or colonies of the rich few, to feed-off the poor many... doesn't seem too hard to believe. -- regards, Banibrata Dutta _______________________________________________ India-gii mailing list India-gii-IAPFreCvJWP2/[email protected] https://lists.india-gii.org/mailman/listinfo/india-gii
