We have the chance to use all we have learned in developing the smart city arena to bring rivers into the people, place, and performance equation."Before cities had roads, their main arteries were rivers. Those arteries were polluted by industry and population growth. We now have the opportunity to use technology to bring the arteries back to life," said Joe Dignan, head, IDC Government Insights EMEA.
