6. New York, Los Angeles, Portland…Dallas?
In December of last year, Dallas was one of 10 cities selected to participate in Envision America, a White House-backed initiative that brings city leaders, smart cities experts and corporate partners together to facilitate smart city project planning and implementation in the country’s most forward-thinking metropolises.
The program builds upon the work of Envision Charlotte, which began its smart cities initiative in 2011 with a goal of reducing energy use by 20 percent over five years. Envision America hopes to help other cities leverage its successes and lessons learned in order to streamline the transition from dumb to smart cities.
