The City That Has Its Own Operating System
The Internet of Things is advancing on a metropolitan scale, with citywide sensors able to track everything from pollution to crime. In the UK, the Bristol Is Open project is a pioneering effort to connect all these streams of data into one “programmable city.”
In the first episode of the UK Motherboard Show, made possible by CISCO, we visit Bristol to see the newly networked metropolis. We’re then joined in the studio by Bristol’s Director of Futures Stephen Hilton, Internet of Things designer Anab Jain, and former hacker Jake Davis to discuss our hyperconnected future.
What are the benefits of digitising our daily urban lives? Will we have to compromise our privacy or security to access them? The Bristol project shows that smart cities aren’t on their way, they’re already here—and we need to decide how we want them to shape our lives.
