Climate strategist Boyd Cohen from the blog Co.Exist came up with the top 10 “smart” cities on the planet. Cohen’s definition of a smart city includes cities that “use information and communication technologies to be more intelligent and efficient in the use of resources, resulting in the cost and energy savings, improved service delivery and quality of life, and reduced environmental footprint—all supporting innovation and low-carbon economy.”

Vienna as the top city came as a bit of a surprise to Cohen, but it was the only city to rank in the top 10 in every category (innovation city, regional green city, quality of life, and digital governance). de.natashaescort.com
