For this assignment, you will create a blog post on your assigned smart city topic.
A student’s Smart City Topic is the topic they are assigned to for their “Student Facilitation” week. See the AI if you have a question on which group you are assigned to.
- Give a definition of what you believe a “Smart City” is at the beginning of your blog post. Also explain why you think this makes for a good definition. This needs to be approximately 100–200 words. Make your own definition, and cite any sources you may use to generate your idea. See week 2 readings for inspiration and sources.
- Provide a general description of your smart city topic. This should be a well–developed paragraph of approximately 200–300 words. Cite any sources you may use to write this description.
- You will identify and research three different smart city projects that align with your smart city topic. Each smart city project should be from a different city in the world. You may choose a national or international city. Take notes and record your thoughts as you review these projects and then write up a summary of these projects. The summary should include the general objective and overall goal of the project, a detailed explanation of the project, and your personal thoughts, criticism, and ideas for how to improve the projects. You should include images in your post and pay attention to the readability and the aesthetics of the blog post. Each smart city project reflection should be approximately 500–750 words.
