A group of chief technology officers from international cities have met in Dublin to hammer out a framework for the development of so-called smart districts. The meeting of the Smart City Innovation Accelerator, which included CTOs from San Jose, Moscow, Tel Aviv, Paris and 19 other cities, was convened by the Harvard-linked Technology and Entrepreneurship Centre. The executives published the declaration of “Dublin principles” that will underpin the development of smart districts, using Dublin’s Docklands as a model for innovation. The principles will help cities to measure the progress of smart districts as they emerge. The area has a high concentration of new builds, a range of connectivity and smart assets, and is home to a number of global technology companies.
