3. Successful smart city initiatives need governance of data and strong collaboration among those building it, said Emily Yates, smart city director in Philadelphia.

The roadmap asks for submissions for smart city solutions, scoping for university partnerships, and the development of a community education series. — IOT WORD TODAY
