This presentation offers insights as to how to make Smart Cities really great by adding the right magnets to attract "the best of the best". Smart Cities focused on technologies alone they will only be average cities with nothing else to attract citizens, businesses, and tourists.

12. The Best Magnet Of Them All:
•Culture (theaters, concert halls, architecture,
museums, World Heritage Sites, and Michelin-
starred restaurants).
• Europe… there's no other place like it in the world! Its fabulous
monuments reveal one layer of history after another, and its
breathtaking natural scenery couldn't be more diverse. From wild to
elegant, its countries bring together a kaleidoscope of cultures and its
landscapes are as intriguing as its past.

13. Key Point:
• Smart Technologies are a must-have.
• Smart Technologies are part of the infrastructure that makes
everything work in an enjoyable way (similar to electricity and the
internet). They are also a critical part of the QoL, but they are
transparent to the public. They are not the ultimate goal of Smart
Cities. The ultimate goal is to offer best QoL.
• So, if the main emphasis of a Smart city is only on Smart
Technologies, then the city has missed this important point.
