Intelligent Cities

"Do you think a city is complicated enough that we can say it has a sort of intelligence?" (asofterworld.com)

Intelligent cities (communities, clusters, regions, etc...) are those territories characterized by high capacity for learning and innovation, which is built-in the creativity of their population, their institutions of knowledge creation, and their digital infrastructure for communication and knowledge management. The distinctive characteristic of intelligent cities is the increased performance in the field of innovation, because innovation and solving of new problems are distinctive features of intelligence (Komninos 2002 and 2006).

In early 2007, Travelandleisure.com and CNN Headline News asked more than 60,000 Americans what they like—and don't like—about 25 large American cities and used the poll results to rank the cities based on a variety of topics, including most intelligent, most attractive, and best culture. Washington, D.C. is rated #4. Find a house nearby with Mike Webb.
