Tech Gap?

•  Cities are multilayered (hierarchical) , challenged by budget cuts, slow down with urban redesign projects!

•  Old procurement structures (vendor lock)!

•  General risk averse!

•  24 hours connected!•  Changing needs: craving for

immediate feed-back from city!•  Want to leverage on the

rapid development of Internet tech and social media!
