Making Cities Think Like the Web
POSTED BY
Mark Surman, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation, gave a very interesting talk (audio and slide show available) at last month’s Web 2.0 Summit in Toronto. Mark advocates creating cities that think like the Web - and says cities can learn from projects like Mozilla.
Mark’s main point: openness and participation created a better Internet…They can also create a better city. Much like how Mozilla formed a decade ago to open up the Internet, improve the Web and encourage people to participate, the same principles of openness and participation can also help make better cities.
