THE SMART CITIES CHALLENGE
etting her sights on Toronto's Quayside plan to convert 12 acres of former
industrial and docking land into a community that is connected from the
ground up, Ann Cavoukian envisions a "smart city of privacy, not a smart
city of surveillance." The concept presented by its steward, Waterfront
Toronto, is to transform the lakeside land and its conventional infrastructure
into Canada's first open-access, ultra-high-speed broadband networked
community allowing for the development of web-enabled technologies and
applications from the ground up.
