2. Smart Cities Initiative announced 9/9/2015
“Every community is different, with different needs and
different approaches. But communities that are making
the most progress on these issues have some things in
common. They don't look for a single silver bullet;
instead they bring together local government and
nonprofits and businesses and teachers and parents
around a shared goal.” – President Barack Obama
