<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">299 words, how close are we to something we can submit our plans for a city we all want to live in? I may have spent too much time defining the problem versus specifying
the solution. All criticism welcome!!! As long as it comes with a constructive alternative. : -)<span style="color:#44546A"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The world is shrinking, actually we are getting larger in it, and the cities have to absorb today’s exponential increase in population. World population since the ‘second
industrial’ revolution after 1850s has grown from 1 billion to almost 8 billion today. In 1950 at a mere 2.5 billion, we were almost evenly distributed between rural and urban. Today, in the developed world, approximately 80% of the population lives in cities.<span style="color:#44546A"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This is creating very difficult conditions for sustainability, much more simply managing basic city services. We must learn to be more efficient along with being more effective.
To most wisely achieve this goal, we need a more collective approach to problem-solving. Many, if not most of the challenges facing the cities o<span style="color:#44546A">f</span> today are quite similar in nature, if not identical, from infrastructure management
to essential public services. Why must each city solve these problems alone? If the cities of the world were to share solutions with each other, they could each focus on different parts of the problem and thereby only bear the burden for a small fraction of
the load. And by working together we may come to better appreciate what we share in common as well as experience the joy being able to help each other.<span style="color:#44546A"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We propose to establish a single, open source, virtual globe platform, CitySmart, with an open API for functionalities (the menu system). We will seed this platform with
an initial suite of functionalities that include tools for managing a renewable power grid, wind and solar, based on the success stories of municipalities in northern Italy. We will include functionalities for managing input of LiDAR data and infrastructure
such as water and sewer. This will be in concert with the City of Springfield Oregon, who has made significant advances in these areas.<span style="color:#44546A"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
