A Roadmap For Future Smart Cities Begins Here

Thanks to its high-speed broadband, Chattanooga is starting to play a new role in the future of smart cities.

Late last year, this city was one of only two in this country - and among three dozen cities around the globe - selected to test new technologies developed by the G20 Smart Cities Alliance, announced by the World Economic Forum.

 

 

The work here in Chattanooga builds on a partnership that began two years ago between The Enterprise Center, CO.LAB, Erlanger Health System, EPB - and our own campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

 

Kevin Comstock is Smart Cities Director for the City of Chattanooga.

 

Ray is the host and producer of "Scenic Roots" - Mondays through Thursdays at 3 PM - and WUTC's Editorial Director.
