7DEE: Learn About Making Cities Smarter Today at 2 pm ET Join us today at 2 pm ET for the kickoff session of 7 Days of Executive Education (7DEE). The subject is Smarter Cities, and this introductory session provides an overview of how technology and planning can help upgrade cities for the 21st Century and beyond.  Lecturer Alan Reiter, a regular contributor to Internet Evolution and our sister site, UBM Future Cities, will describe how cities of the world are getting more livable by getting smarter -- and the dark side, as smarter criminals hack into crucial networks and portable devices to suit their own purposes.  Alan will discuss how cities are developing mobile apps for their citizens, some using "hackathons" involving local citizens. He'll talk about cities using technology to solve problems, including Louisville, Ky., San Francisco, and New York. He'll describe how cities are using technology to promote walkability, public transit, parking, and more.  This class, like all 7DEE events, is free. Join us at the attached link 2 pm ET today, Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 2 pm. You'll download the PowerPoint deck and follow the presentation at your desk while listening to the presentation on streaming audio.
