Sensing City

Smart Cities Toronto - the newly announced joint project between Sidewalk Labs (owned by Google) and Waterfront Toronto, to develop a brand new smart city neighbourhood near downtown toronto called Quayside. Toronto was picked to be a smart city after the Smart Cities initiative sent out by Google because it has all the criteria Google and Sidewalk Labs was looking for. The idea here is to model a city of the future that other cities around the world can be built like - using smart technology, improving transportation, addressing affordable housing, and addressing environmental and clean renewable energy concerns.
