Smart Low-Tech or No-Tech Solutions [?]
• Smart Cities and Smart City solutions are not a new phenomenon
• Smart Cities and Smart City solutions are not necessarily high-tech
• Smart Cities and Smart City solutions empower individual citizens to participate in shaping the urban environment – a kind of DIY Urbanism

• BRT began in Curitiba, Brazil in 1974
• Bogota, Colombia opened its system (Transmilenio) in 2000
• The Transmilenio is considered to be among the best/most complete examples of BRT in the world
• [Smart Design] – a low tech solution

[Smart] is DIY
[Tactical Urbanism] –
“The goal is not to simply do a cool project that will get cleaned up by the city or thrown away, but to make something – even something temporary – that will change how a place works and is perceived. And once that change has been made, to figure out how it can be made again or made permanent.” - Nate Berg Writer, The Atlantic Cities
