Technology Can Do Much More than Optimize Cities
To a very real extent, city governments are held back by the fact they can’t go out of business. It’s fundamentally harder – in any sector – to reinvent an organisation than it is to create a new one.

Policymakers and the wider innovation community cannot shirk the question of transition.
