Background

The New National Dream: Building an Intelligent Nation

Background: The Importance of the Transition to Intelligent Communities A focus on communities is vital, because more than half of the worlds people are urban-dwellers today. It seems common for us, yet city-dwelling is a radical transformation for humanity. While there was only a one-in-ten chance that your grandparents would have lived in a city, the odds are more than three-inone that your children will live in a city. We are adding a major city the size of New York to the planet almost every month. Some 500 million people are in the process of urbanizing at this moment. Cities consume 75% of the worlds energy and produce 85% of the worlds greenhouse gases. The fact of urbanization is the central transforming event of our lifetime. How civic leaders cope with the influx of people and deal with issues such as infrastructure, new ultra broadband communications and information technologies, health care, security and commerce, is a major concern today. At the same time, opportunities abound as these leaders transform their communities through the application of evolving computer and communications technologies. Copenhagen has smart energy, Kyoto has smart government, Stockholm has smart traffic, Zurich has smart healthcare, New York has smart crime fighting... The fact that these cities have locked onto is that the rate of innovation in a community increases as the social and physical networking increase. And innovation is key to sustainable prosperity. i-CANADA Builds on the Work of the Intelligent Community Forum, ICF The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) of New York has defined an Intelligent Community as those communities that have taken conscious steps to create an economy that prospers through the use of Broadband. The annual ICF competition for Intelligent Community of the Year and receives over 300 nominations annually from communities large and small from around the world. Each year the ICF narrows down the nominations to the Top Seven and some communities have been in the Top 7 category for a few years before achieving Intelligent Community of the year. Forty different communities have been named to the Top Seven since 2002. Eleven of them have populations over one million people while 29 are under one million, thus demonstrating the opportunity for communities of all size. Stockholm, Taipei, Glasgow, Singapore and Waterloo, Canada are a few of those who have won the Intelligent Community of the Year award as they transformed their communities through economic, social and environmental initiatives and created new economic growth and social prosperity for all citizens.
