A
Welcome
everybody.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
tonight
on
this
cold
windy
night.
My
name
is
Jack
Belcher
I'm,
the
CIO
in
Arlington
County,
and
this
is
the
seventh
issue
of
this
event.
Digital
destiny
and
the
idea
behind
it
is
to
invite
you,
the
community
of
Arlington,
to
come
to
an
event
and
talk
about
the
future
might
feel.
Look
like.
We
have
no
agenda
here.
So
whatever
we
come
up
say
anything.
You
want
talk
about
what
you
think
the
future
may
look
like.
A
A
It's
the
six
events
we've
done
prior
to
this
have
been
extraordinary
events
in
terms
of
the
dialogue
we've
had
why
we're
doing
this
is
that
the
pace
of
change
is
happening
in
such
a
rapid
rapid
rate
that
what
we
assumed
to
be
true
today
may
be
changed
tomorrow,
and
there
were
some
many
good
things
that
are
coming
out
of
it.
Harriet
brown
is
here
today
and
Harriet.
A
If
you
saw
that
five
years
ago,
that
you
would
pick
up
your
your
tablet
or
phone
and
asked
for
a
ride
from
a
total
stranger
get
in
that
car
to
have
them.
Take
you
to
the
airport,
take
a
plane
ride
to
st.
Louis,
get
out
of
that
get
out
of
your
get
out
of
the
airport.
Take
another
strangers
car
ride
to
a
house.
You
had
no
idea
whose
house
it
was
but
you're
going
to
spend
the
next
two
days
there.
Would
you
think
you'd
ever
do
that
five
years
ago,.
A
That's
over
that's
over
Airbnb,
it's
changed
just
about
everything,
we're
doing
that's
a
good
sign,
but
there's
also
not
so
good
side.
My
wife
Nancy's
here
today
would
have
it
and
she's
sitting
here
and
as
he
get
up
the
other
day
and
she
said,
I
want
to
take
the
dog
for
a
walk
and
she
called
him.
Dog's
name
was
max.
He
says
max:
let's
go
for
a
walk,
I,
wonder
what
the
weather's
going
to
be
like
today
and
all
of
a
sudden
the
voice
came
out
of
the
background
hi.
This
is
Alexa.
A
It's
supposed
to
be
kind
of
windy
today
and
kind
of
cold
Nancy
said:
shut
up,
Alexa
I,
don't
want
to
hear
anymore.
Alexa
said
to
her.
You
know:
that's
not
a
nice
way
to
talk
to
me.
Nancy
walked
out
of
the
house,
and
she
said
what
else
does
Alexa
know
about
what
I'm
doing
in
the
house.
So
they're
not
good
side.
So
in
a
few
minutes
we're
gonna
have
that
discussion,
we'll
talk
all
about
that
and
what
it
means.
But
first
we
are
so
honored.
B
You
know
I'm
one
of
those
people
I
think
this
is
working
I'm,
one
of
those
people
who
tends
to
embrace
technology,
but
you
know
when
you
hear
Jack
put
it
in
those
plain
terms:
I'm
really
not
sure
that
I
ought
to.
But
one
thing
I
did
learn
a
long
time
ago
is
never
put
Alexa
in
your
bedroom.
All
right
so
make
sure
that
is
not
a
part
of
your
routine.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight.
Those
assembled
in
person
and
those
who
are
watching
on
Facebook
live.
B
It
is
terrific
that
you
all
are
here
to
join
in
what
will
promise
to
be
another
great
discussion
on
Arlington's
digital
destiny.
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
attend
to
talk
earlier
in
the
series
on
the
future
of
learning
and
the
insights
that
we
were
able
to
get
from
the
community.
Conversation
have
definitely
shaped.
My
thinking
and
I
think
have
informed
thinking
throughout
the
organization
of
Arlington
County
government.
Of
course,
our
Arlington
County
Schools
and
you
know,
like
Jack,
said
that
conversation
didn't
result
in
any
ten-point
plan
that
we
went
out.
C
B
Went
out
and
started
to
execute,
but
it
did
do
the
necessary
work
of
really
evolving
how
we
think
of
embracing
technological
change
so
that
it
provides
opportunities
in
the
future
ones
that
we
can't
fully
articulate
or
comprehend
now,
but
that
we
as
an
organization
we
as
a
county
and
a
community,
will
be
fully
prepared
to
capitalize
on
and
I
am
sure.
Tonight's
conversation
on
shaping
a
smart
and
secure
future
will
provide
equally
valuable
insights
to
us
all.
Now
you
all
may
know
because
we
brag
about
it.
B
A
lot
Arlington
has
been
named
the
top
digital
County
in
the
United
States
for
two
years
in
a
row,
and
this
is
the
result
of
many
many
factors,
some
of
which
I
don't
even
really
understand,
but
I
imagine
I,
imagine
at
the
core.
They
have
focused
on
some
of
the
smart
innovations
that
we
have
deployed
in
recent
years.
B
One
great
example
of
this
is
the
intelligent
transportation
system
which,
on
its
surface,
provides
the
ability
for
people
who
are
operating
in
a
central
location
here
in
this
building,
to
monitor
our
roads,
to
look
at
congestion,
to
look
at
traffic
incidents,
to
look
at
flow
and
to
adapt
our
signaling
system
to
better,
manage
it
and
to
ease
the
flow
of
people
through
our
community.
Most
people
have
no
idea
that
it's
going
on,
but
it
provides
tremendous
benefits,
benefits
that
we
can
measure,
but
also
many
benefits
that
are
unseen.
B
But
the
great
part
about
this
technology
is
that
particular
innovation
is
not
the
only
result.
The
only
end
result
of
those
investments,
just
like
a
tree
that
branches
out
that
project
was
able
to
expand
to
allow
police
and
fire
to
open
up
ports
that
have
enabled
them
to
connect
with
the
county
infrastructure
so
that
we
can
have
better
responses
to
emergencies
or
dealing
with
large-scale
crowd
events.
It's
also
allowed
for
the
completion
of
connect
Arlington,
which
is
one
of
our
signature
initiatives.
B
Now,
in
its
most
simplest
form,
you
can
easily
Tom
lots
of
data
on
your
public
and
call
yourself
transparent.
That's
really
not
what
the
endgame
is
about,
at
least
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
You
know
for
us
I
think
we
need
to
work
to
reach
the
next
level,
where
we're
not
just
interested
in
disseminating
datasets,
but
really
changing
our
mindsets
and
really
thinking
about
how
we
as
a
local
government,
recognize
that
our
goal
should
be
to
create
an
active
engaged
and
informed
citizenry.
That
can,
in
turn,
help
us
make
the
best
decisions
for
everybody's
behalf.
B
I
believe
that
organizations
that
that
really
plan
for
and
build
the
capacity
in
advanced
analytics
who
build
the
capacity
and
data
visualization
and
systems
architecture.
These
will
be
the
local
government
organizations
that
are
best
poised
to
engage
with
their
community
in
a
way
that
will
lead
to
better
decision
making
and
when
you
consider
that
being
the
reward
to
me,
all
of
the
risks
are
very
much
worth
it
now
I.
Thank
you
all
for
participating.
B
In
this
conversation
tonight
again,
I
don't
know
the
outcome,
but
I
know
that
it's
going
to
be
incredibly
illuminating
for
me
as
a
public
policy
person
for
our
staff
who
is
in
charge
of
implement
and
for
all
of
us
who
will
learn
from
the
conversation
with
each
other.
So
thank
you
all
tonight,
I
look
forward
to
joining
you
in
the
audience
and
hearing
from
this
great
panel.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
tonight
we're
going
to
talk
about
shaping
mountains,
future
our
community
and
making
it
a
secure
and
safe
community
and
what
potential
may
look
like,
and
so
we're
honored
tonight
to
have
Miss
Beverly
Allen
here
today.
Beverly
is
a
security
consultant
for
over
20
years
to
public
private
sector
organizations.
She
also
is
the
host
and
producer
of
a
show
on
wera.
Fm
were
part
of
that
as
part
of
our
Linton
independent
media,
and
she
does
that
and
she
was
just
named.
Arlington
independent
media
is
2017
radio
producer
of
the
year.
Congratulations.
D
Well,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
thanks
to
our
panelists,
our
esteemed
panelists,
dr.
Joe,
Pelton,
Bob,
Duffy
and
dr.
Lu
Singh,
and
so
we're
just
gonna
jump
right
in
and
as
I
ask
these
questions.
Gentlemen.
Please
take
the
opportunity
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
yourselves
and
your
background
and
my
question
starting
all
for
each
of
you
is:
what
do
you
consider
to
be
a
smart
city?
What
are
your
criteria
for
smart
city
Jo?
Well,.
E
I
have
a
few
slides,
I
promise
that
we
won't
be
having
a
slideshow
presentation,
but
the
thing
is:
smart
cities
have
changed
over
time
back
in
1975
in
1976,
when
I
was
president
of
the
Arlington
County
Civic
Federation
I
was
pleased
to
be
a
member
of
what
was
called
the
long-range
County
Improvement
Commission,
which
was
headed
by
dr.
Joe
holy
and
dr.
E
Joe
Fisher,
who
were
on
the
town
bored
then,
and
there
were
nine
of
us
and
we
basically
focused
on
what
became
known
as
smart
planning
and
the
whole
idea
of
concentrating
density
along
the
RB
corridor
in
the
bull's-eyes
of
the
metro.
And
what
have
you
and
today
that
has
blossomed
and
succeeded
and
I
think
we
have
85%
of
the
density
and
the
population
concentrated
in
15%
of
the
county
along
the
Metro
corridors
in
our
B
corridor
and
Crystal
City
as
time
moved
along.
E
We
started
to
think
increasingly
about
infrastructure,
and
what
does
that
mean,
and
how
do
we
have
smarter
infrastructure
and
also,
how
can
we
use
intelligence,
something
called
SCADA?
Who
here
knows
the
word
SCADA
well.
This
is
a
very
informed
audience
that
stands
for
supervisory
control
and
data
acquisition,
and
when
I
was
on
the
IT
Commission,
we
were
working
with
other
parts
of
the
county
concerned
with
security
and
said:
are
these
industrial
control
systems
that
control
our
traffic
lights
or
water
or
sewage?
E
In
other
words,
increasingly,
we
through
our
air
program
here
in
Arlington,
we
have
been
focusing
on
the
sustainability
of
the
community
and
smart
energy.
What
have
you
and
then
Jobs
and
Competitiveness
citizens
support
and
that's
very,
very
important,
I
think
that
Arlington
is
different,
the
so-called
Arlington
way,
which
was
very
much
alive
back
when
I
was
chair
of
the
Civic
Federation
of
the
35
years
ago,
and
it's
still
very
much
today,
I
see
many
Civic
Federation
leaders
out
there
in
the
audience
and
I
would
just
note
that
also
aim.
E
E
Training
for
people
over
the
world
in
cyber
security
and
he's
also
done
a
lot
of
work
around
the
world
in
terms
of
designing
smart
cities.
So
we're
very
pleased
to
have
in
do
with
us
tonight.
So
just
a
couple
of
more
slides
next
slide.
So
we
have
all
of
this
new
technology.
Artificial
intelligence
and
super
automation.
It
is
amazing
that
we
have
gone
from
terabytes
to
exabytes,
to
zettabytes
and
now
we're
even
building
facilities
that
have
a
Yoda
byte
capability.
E
And
if
you
know
what
all
of
those
terms
mean,
you
probably
know
too
much
about
information
technology,
but
we're
certainly
talking
about
smart
energy
grids.
Talking
BOTS
driverless
transports,
the
internet
of
everything
you've
heard
about
the
Internet
of
Things,
but
there
is
a
projection
by
one
company:
that's
sort
of
owned
by
Intel.
That
says
that
the
amount
of
Internet
of
thing
traffic
will
increase
by
a
factor
of
30
times
the
next
20
years,
and
that
that
means
that
most
of
the
communications
that
will
be
flowing
over
the
internet
will
be
machine-to-machine
communications.
E
And
this
leads
us
to
the
need
for
advanced
cyber
security,
human
machine
interface
that
I
mentioned
before,
and
that's
putting
humans
in
the
middle
of
commands
of
a
very
important
intelligent
infrastructure
to
make
sure
that
things
don't
go
violently
wrong
and
then
finally
tell
a
city
architecture
and
virtual
companies,
and
certainly
Teleservices.
That
will
be
a
key
part
of
that
future.
E
So
do
we
have
one
less
thing
and
that
is
the
benefits
of
better
planning
and
growth,
less
pollution
and
reduced
energy
consumption,
better
infrastructure
or
less
commuting
and
better
transportation
systems
reduce
traffic
accidents,
responsive
government,
but
the
concerns
are
cyberattack:
techno,
terrorism,
industrial
controls
and
the
human
machine
interface.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
buck
John.
F
Thank
you
very
much
and
a
little
background
about
me.
If
you
don't
know
of
the
last
six
years,
I've
been
serving
as
Arlington's
planning
director
and
I
work
many
with
Planning
Commission,
with
many
of
our
boards
and
commissions
that
have
been
focused
on
Arlington
Smart
Growth
journey
as
we
like
to
call
it,
which
really
is
a
foundation
for
our
smart
County
and
some
of
the
issues
and
opportunities
we're
going
to
talk
about
tonight.
F
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
give
a
little
history.
A
little
background.
This
gentleman
beside
me
is
was
very
involved
in
the
early
days
of
planning
and
some
landmark
decisions
were
made
by
our
county
board
and
many
of
the
citizen
planners,
so
I'm
going
to
give
us
a
little
background
to
start
with
and
then
talk
about
several
areas
that
are
central
to
physical
planning
in
the
future
of
Smart
Growth
and
being
a
smart
County
that
John
touched
on.
F
But
let
look:
let's
look
back
to
the
early
60s
and
70s
and
where
were
we
and
a
lot
of
you
know
what
Arlington
County
was
like
during
that
period,
a
very
different
place
for
what's
transpired.
Over
the
last
several
decades
we
had
declining
retail
corridors.
Our
employment
in
office
market
was
very
different.
F
We
were
not
unlike
many
United
States
many
cities,
the
United
States
terms
have
dominated
by
the
automobile.
We
didn't
have
the
same
types
of
mobility
that
we
enjoy
today,
so
we
were
a
very
different
place
and
some
some
landmark
decisions
were
made
again
by
citizen
planners,
the
Planning
Commission
professional
planners
in
the
County
Board
at
the
advent
of
Metro,
for
example,
in
the
Rosslyn
Boston
corridor
was
shown
here.
This
is
a
segment
of
our
general
land-use
plan,
which
is
kind
of
like
our
Constitution.
F
If
you
will,
in
terms
of
establishing
policy
and
a
framework
to
guide
growth,
and
that
policy
and
frameworks
been
recognized
nationally
many
times,
but
most
recently,
it
was
recognized
by
the
American
Planning
Association
for
our
commitment
to
smart
growth
and
plan
implementation.
But
a
decision
was
made
in
the
Rosslyn
Boston
corridor
in
the
late
70s
to
relocate
the
metro
line
from
the
middle
of
I
66,
the
Rosslyn
Boston
Clarendon,
certainly
corridor,
and
that
had
a
major
impact
and
really
started
us
down
this
smart
growth
journey.
F
That's
made
a
difference
and
again
sets
this
foundation
and
we've
achieved
a
lot
during
that
period.
It's
staggering
when
you
think
about
where
we've
come
from
over
just
those
forty
some
years
in
this
slide
shows
where
we
were
in
70
and
where
we
are
today
in
the
Rosslyn
Boston
Quarter
in
terms
of
office,
space,
residential
retail
and
jobs.
It's
a
tremendous
success
story
and
again,
as
John
indicated,
it
really
set
the
stage
for
where
we
go
next.
F
Now
there
are
a
number
of
other
areas
that
we
could
cover
here,
Martha
Moore's.
Here
this
evening
we
were
talking
about
health
care.
We
were
talking
about
certainly
affordable
housing,
which
is
a
major
priority
for
the
county.
But
these
are
four
that
I
think
are
central
and
should
figure
into
our
ongoing
commitment
to
being
a
smart
community.
F
We're
very
fortunate
in
Arlington,
as
we've
held
true
to
our
general
land
use
plan,
that
our
master
transportation
plan
at
Jena,
Dennis
leach
and
his
staff
work
on
with
the
transportation
board
has
really
been
very
forward-thinking
and
focused
on
mobility,
in
a
very
diverse
way.
That
many
American
communities
didn't
in
the
70s
80s.
We
were
planning
for
Metro
walkability,
various
alternative
ways
to
move
about,
to
reduce
congestion,
reduce
the
amount
of
space
devoted
toward
parking
and
certainly
roads.
F
But
this
notion
of
the
future
of
autonomous
vehicles
is
going
to
change
dramatically
in
many
ways,
while
it
may
take
time,
but
least
by
2021.
We're
gonna
find
that
every
major
automotive
plant
company
is
introducing
some
form
of
semi
or
autonomous
vehicle.
That's
going
to
be
on
our
roadways
and
a
number
of
they're
being
tested.
I've
got
an
example
here:
the
University
of
Michigan's
circulator,
that's
an
autonomous
vehicle
that
moves,
move,
students
and
faculty
from
place
to
place
along
the
large
metro.
F
Campus
Arlington
continues
to
be
a
participant
in
a
very
active
part
of
the
discussion
about
autonomous
vehicles
and
what
that
will
mean
to
communities.
There's
a
document
here
that
the
American
Planning
Association
symposium,
that
was
held
here
in
the
fall
that
involved
the
again
the
American
Planning
Association
Brookings
mobility
lab
the
George
Mason
University
was
very
involved
with
this.
We'll
provide
a
link
to
this
I
think
after
the
program,
but
it
is
a
major
primer
I
think
that
will
tell
us
a
lot
about
where
we
need
to
go
in
the
future.
F
John
mentioned
the
office
market,
which
is
changing
dramatically
for
where
it
was
in
the
seventies
and
eighties,
even
the
90s.
We
all
know
we
went
through
the
base,
relocation
act
and
sequestration.
We
have
an
aging
office
plant
AG
office
stock
in
our
communities
and
we're
gonna
need
to
find
new
solutions
to
adapt
that
space.
But
again,
as
new
office
space
comes
online,
it's
radically
different
and
the
space
is
smaller.
It's
it's!
It's
designed
to
enable
collaboration
and
innovation
in
a
way
that
much
of
a
previous
construction
in
Arlington
really
was
a
hadn't
considered.
F
Even
this
building
is
going
to
be
part
of
that
revolution.
We're
about
we're
going
to
be
in
this
building
for
another
15
years
due
to
renewal
of
our
lease,
but
through
that
lease
negotiation,
we're
going
to
be
redesigning
the
interior
this
building,
so
that
the
services
we
deliver
to
all
of
you
build
on
the
digital
opportunities
that
we
have
and
make
us
work.
Smarter,
be
innovative
and
more
collaborative
and
you'll
hear
more
about
this.
In
the
weeks
and
months
ahead,
retail
is
changing
dramatically.
F
We
all
know
that
grocery
stores
alone,
how
they're,
delivering
and
serving
their
customers
is
changing
dramatically,
how
that
will
affect
Arlington,
County's
grocery
store
policy
and
again
this
whole
change
from
bricks
and
mortar
retail
on
time
and
on
demand
is
going
to
be
dramatic
in
the
years
ahead
and,
lastly,
I
want
to
talk
briefly
and
I
know
we'll
talk
more
about.
This
is
smart
planning,
which
is
further
engaged
in
dynamic.
F
There's
a
copy
here
on
the
screen
of
the
Boston
sector
plan,
which
is
our
plan
for
the
quartered
half
a
mile
area
that
surrounds
the
Boston
metro
station.
It's
one
of
our
older
plans
developed
back
in
the
1980s,
and
we
did
begin
to
update
those
plans,
but
in
a
very
different
way,
that
has
smart
city
components
that
John
defined
and
also
utilizes
the
data
from
a
wide
range
of
sources,
so
that
our
so
that
our
so
that
the
forecasts
that
we
develop
for
these
plans
can
be
more
dynamic,
recognize.
F
The
change
is
so
rapid
that
we
may
need
to
change
our
tactics.
Our
zoning
procedures,
policies
diplomat
the
basic
goals
envisioned
that
we
establish
for
each
of
these
planning
areas
and
again
one
area
where
the
county
is
moving
forward
is
through
the
on
one,
stop
Arlington
program:
that's
really
going
to
transform
how
we
service
all
of
you
in
terms
of
issuing
permits,
providing
a
new
level
of
customer
service
and
providing
for
a
new
electronic
set
of
plan,
reviews
and
submission.
That's
something
we
haven't
experienced
before.
F
So
our
County
is
gearing
up
both
in
terms
of
the
space
in
terms
the
services
we
deliver,
and
so
what
I
wanted
to
do
briefly
night
before
we
have
our
conversation
is
give
you
a
little
overview
of
where
we've
come
from
press
upon
you,
how
important
our
Smart
Growth
journey
has
been
the
difference
it's
made
and
how
it
will
contribute
to
our
smart
County.
So
our
journey
is
going
to
continue
and
again
tonight,
we'll
have
some
conversations
about
that.
Thanks.
D
G
So
I'll
take
a
shortcut
because
they
have
covered
almost
everything
that
you
city,
but
you
know
what,
for
the
last
15
years,
I
have
been
designing,
building
and
smart
cities
all
over
the
world,
except
here
at
home,
we're
just
starting
now,
while
the
rest
of
the
world
has
been
building
in
smart
cities
for
the
last
15
years.
My
first
project
was
Singapore
government
project
called
intelligent
Island,
which
is
still
the
best
see
a
little
bit
louder,
which
is
still
the
best
model
of
a
smart
city.
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
now
all
right?
G
So
I
was
talking
to
dr.
Pilton
last
week
and
he
gave
me
some
statistics
about
Arlington
County,
which
I
think
made
me.
Let
me
to
conclude
that
Arlington
is
already
a
smart
city.
He
told
me
that
there
are
more
smart
people
living
in
Arlington
than
in
any
other
country
or
cities
and
watch
the
metropolitan
area.
So
there
you
go.
Unfortunately,
I
live
in
Fairfax
County,
so.
G
But,
but
to
me,
because
somebody
who
designs
and
builds
a
smart
city
I
would
I
have
simplified
the
definition,
because
every
city
defines
a
smart
city
in
every
country,
defines
a
smart
city
in
its
own
way
and
that's
fine,
because
there
is
different
stages
of
growth,
but
a
common
definition.
To
me
when
I
design
is
a
smart
city
and
economic
development
concept,
socio-economic
development,
it's
not
a
technology
I'm,
a
technologist,
ok!
G
Well,
it
is
not
a
technology
concept
and
I
have
seen
the
failure
of
a
smart
cities
in
many
countries
with
the
smart
people
leading
it
because
they
overemphasize
technology
and
under
emphasize
the
socio-economic
development,
the
that's
what
you're
using
technology,
which
is
a
means
to
an
end
and
Andy's
economic
development.
So
to
me,
that's
a
smart
city.
Everything
is
built
around
socio
economic
development
using
advanced
information
and
communication
technology.
So
technology
has
a
very
important
place,
but
it's
a
conduit
to
something
it
is
not
actually
just
buying.
G
H
I'd
like
to
broaden
the
topic
a
little
bit,
I'm
on
the
Information
Technology
Advisory
Commission
and
several
years
ago,
during
one
of
our
minor
emergencies,
we
raised
the
issue
of
crowdsourcing
and
it
was
very
interesting
that
what
my
question
is,
what
is
the
role
of
the
people
who
live
and
work
here?
It
seems
to
be
pretty
passive.
We're
supposed
to
wait
for
you
to
tell
us
what
to
do
well.
H
I'm,
currently
watching
a
series
on
TV,
it's
purely
fictional,
about
crowdsourcing
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
is
familiar
with
this,
but
it's
kind
of
like
foreign
Fahrenheit
451,
where
people
have
smartphones
and
they're
willing
to
help
you
do
whatever
it
is
you're
trying
to
accomplish
get
the
bad
guy,
or
in
our
case
it
was
somebody
put
up,
put
up
a
website.
That
said
this
gas
station
is
open,
they
have
electricity
and
they
have
gas,
and
people
wanted
to
know
things
like
that.
H
But
we
are
lling
ttan
we're
a
little
bit
suspicious
of
having
people
we
didn't
know
who
had
not
yet
been
vetted
and
so
I'm
there.
I
have
been
very
curious
since
then
about
what
is
the
role
people
will
want
to
come
and
help?
There's
no
doubt
about
that,
and
what
are
other
communities
doing
about
that?
Well,.
D
Hopefully
we
will
have
answered
all
the
questions
you
just
asked
so
before
we
do
that
I'm
going
to
stick
a
pin
there,
because
I
want
dr.
Singh
into
framed
this,
so
well
that
we,
we
really
ought
not
to
get
caught
up
in
the
technology
of
it,
because
at
the
heart
of
it,
it's
really
about
socio
economics.
That
being
said,
I'm
still
going
to
ask
you:
what
are
some
technologies
we
can
expect
to
see
in
smart
cities
of.
G
Course,
the
you
know,
the
technologies
are
important
without
the
technology
we
couldn't
do
most
of
the
things
there
is
no
doubt
what
I
was
trying
to
say
is
that
technology
should
not
be
the
sole
purpose
adopting
new
technology,
but
you
will
see
a
lot
of
technology
that
is
already
but
the
technology
technology,
something
that
we
really
need
to
learn
today.
Ok,
he
used
to
take
14
15
years
for
your
new
technology
to
move
out
of
the
the
R&D
lab
and
come
to
the
consumer
market.
G
Today
it
takes
less
than
two
years
so
technologies
are
rapidly
changing
and
there
is
a
cultural
lag
in
using
the
technology
as
they
are
progressing
rapidly
and
our
ability
to
use
them
cannot
be
equally
fast.
So
that's
the
problem,
but
having
said
that
in
a
smart
city
to
be
there,
you
have
to
think
differently.
The
smart
city
when
we
design
a
smart
city
is
a
solution.
Looking
for
problem
right,
you
don't
build
a
smart
city
without
really
defining
your
issues
and
solutions.
G
Our
Lindon
kit
is
a
case
in
point.
For
example,
you
know
it
and
Arlington
is
in
transition,
I
mean
who
the
Crystal
City
changes
happening
there
in
a
Rosalind
changes
happening
there.
The
traffic,
if
a
smart
city
or
limit
a
smart
city
can
solve
66
traffic
66
traffic
problem
I'll
be
happy
to
you
know
to
know
that
we
have
achieved
this
smart
city
in
Arlington
right,
so
what
we
have
to
be
very
innovative
and
there
new
technologies
that
are
coming
in,
that
people
are
using.
G
For
example,
just
yesterday
Dubai
announced
that
is
going
to
be
the
first
government
in
the
world
that
will
be
powered
by
blockchain
technology
by
2020.
Okay,
now
everybody
is
talking
about
blockchain
technology
and
the
Bitcoin.
The
foundation
for
bitcoin
is
the
blockchain
right.
Blockchain
technology
in
a
smart
city
holds
a
great
promise.
What
is
divide
going
to
do
that
is
going
to
move
all
of
his
central
record
of
property
properties
and
put
it
on
on
the
blockchain
and
the
blockchain.
Fundamentally,
blockchain
technology
is
a
secure
database
that
allows
multiple
computers
to
share
the
same
information.
G
But
what
will
happen
as
a
result
of
that
that
the
properties
can
be
transferred
faster,
easier
and
cheaper?
Look
at
how
much
you
pay
for
the
title,
search
and
change
when
you
buy
something
or
sell
something.
There
is
no
reason
why
it
should
take
that
long
and
the
county
can
transfer
all
we
record
on
those
technologies.
So
so
it's
not
the
technology
to
answer
your
question
directly:
it
isn't
the
technology
that
is
driving
a
smart
city
implementation,
it's
the
application,
innovation
and
application
and
services.
G
D
J
I'm,
actually
on
the
Information
Technology
Advisory
Commission
myself,
my
name
is
Joshua
Farah.
In
regards
to
this
specific
question
about
like
the
timeline
and
what
types
of
problems
were
interested
in
solving,
you
know,
I
think
there's
going
to
be
a
long
term.
Obviously,
a
multi-year
rollout
of
different
types
of
technologies,
I
work
in
the
analytics
industry,
and
so
what
we're
really
interested
is
capturing
information.
So
I
don't
know
if
there
are
really
any
sort
of
like
government.
J
J
E
I
respond
to
that
just
first
by
way
of
information
in
do
and
I,
and
a
team
of
other
people
and
several
universities
have
a
proposal
into
the
National
Science
Foundation,
to
do
some
of
the
things
that
you're
talking
about
and
to
develop
the
methodology.
Many
people
here
know
about
big
data
and
big
data
analysis.
What
we're
doing
is
trying
to
go
a
step
beyond
that
to
what
we
call
causal
analysis
to
create
a
model
of
how
a
city
works
and
its
relationships
and
then
test.
E
Big
Data
run
it
through
with
very
high
speed
computers
to
say:
do
these
relationships
affect
and
what
are
the
best
investments
that
have
worked
to
achieve
various
objectives
in
the
past,
so
that
when
the
county
board
looks
at
this
budget,
it
knows
what
are
the
most
cost
effective
investments
for
capital
and
also
operating
budgets,
so
we're
in
the
process
of
hopefully
getting
that.
But
what's
interesting
is
that
we
have
three
cities
that
are
participating
in
this.
One
is
Arlington
County,
the
the
one
is
up
in
Rhode
Island
and
then
in
Colorado.
E
So
three
parts
of
the
country
and
three
different
communities,
but
also
I,
wanted
to
just
comment
on
Martha's
question
about
the
thing
is
there
are
certain
applications
that
the
government
should
be
involved
in
and
can
do
for
crime
prevention,
for
instance,
create
a
system
so
that
people
can
feel
that
they
can
report
crimes
and
a
suspicious
behavior,
and
that
there's
be
a
better
structured
way.
For
that
to
happen.
E
There
is
already
a
system
that
Jack
Belcher
in
the
Department
of
the
transportation
system
has
that
people
can
actually
take
a
picture
of
potholes
and
what-have-you
and
then
send
that
into
the
county
and
that's
a
system-
that's
that's
already
operating,
but
a
lot
of
the
other
things.
Don't
necessarily
involve
the
the
county
per
se.
In
other
words,
there
are
things
that
communities
can
do.
Universities
can
do
or
other
groups
within
a
community
can
do
on
a
private
basis
and
I
do
think
going
forward.
E
We're
going
to
see
many
more
private
governmental
partnerships
in
systems,
but
I
think
in
terms
of
crime
and
reporting.
You
know
road
hazards
and
other
things.
Those
are
things
that
are
already
starting
to
happen
and
there's
more,
the
county
should
be
examining
going
forward
how
to
use
crowdsourcing
and
other
things
that
private
initiatives
can
do
as
well.
Just.
F
G
G
Okay,
which
is
a
very
bad
trend
and,
and
so
I
think.
The
way
to
think
about
now
is
how
do
we
really
bring
these
the
struggling
cities
back
to
a
normal
level
so
that
they
can
compete
and
thrive
in
their
own
way?
Could
a
smart
city
be
a
vehicle
for
that?
Yes,
because
the
smart
city
has
the
flexibility
that
you
can
design
and
build
for
any
purpose:
jura
strategic
advantage,
that's
what
you
do
and
and
and
so
like
you
know,
if
you,
if
you
look
at
these
statistics,
is
startling
between
2010
and
2014.
G
50%
of
the
new
business
were
formed
in
the
United
States
in
20
counties,
50%
of
business
form
only
in
20
counties
in
the
United
States.
What
does
that
mean
to
the
rest
of
the
countries
and
the
series
demographic
changes?
People
are
leaving
economy
going
down,
tax
base
is
going
down
and,
and
we
are
not
paying
attention
to
those
things,
but
those
series,
why
is
think
about
is
why
Detroit
all
of
sudden
wants
to
be
a
smart
city.
G
D
D
K
D
F
F
If
you
turn
back
the
clock
and
you
think
about
how
we
approach
that
a
decade
or
more
ago,
it's
all
about
public
hearings,
and
it
really
wasn't
about
real-time
engagement
and
today
the
Community
Planning
work
that
we
do
in
partnership
with
with
many
of
you
and
in
the
neighborhoods
and
business
community,
really
involves
some
new
tools
and
wide
range
of
tools
involved
in
social
media.
We've
used
periscope.
If
you
have
understanding
what
that
know,
we
have.
F
That
involved
from
basic
home
improvements
to
the
construction
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
mixed-use
develop
and
in
Ballston
or
Rosslyn.
It's
a
big
deal
and
we're
now
in
the
process
of
working
with
Axela
and
working
across
departmental
lines,
because
there
are
many
of
many
different
agencies,
including
ours.
The
department
opinion
planning,
Housing,
Development,
Department,
Environmental,
Services,
Jack's
Department
that
are
all
involved
and
that
that
that
permitting
process
in
18
the
20
months
or
less
the
the
entry
way
for
that
permitting
is
going
to
be
a
digital
entry.
F
An
application
that's
online
and
the
permitting
will
be
online
and
all
those
trips
or
interaction
with
various
agencies
will
be
all
behind
the
scenes.
We
are
fully
going
to
integrate
all
of
our
permitting
staff
into
a
pretty
seamless
structure,
so
it's
some
silo
busting,
that's
going
on
and
some
real
transformation
that's
going
to
occur
and,
as
I
also
said,
this
building
is
going
to
be
renovated
and
wired
and
repositioned
to
enable
those
types
of
transformations
to
happen.
Just
a
couple
of
areas.
E
Like
to
add
one
point,
one
of
the
great
resources
Arlington
now
has
is
the
connect
Arlington
fiber-optic
network
that
connects
a
hundred
sites
of
50,
county
and
50
schools.
And
if
someone
were
asked
me,
what
is
Arlington
not
doing
that
it
should
be
doing?
Is
it
should
be
doing
more
in
terms
of
telemedicine,
telehealth
and
telecare?
E
D
Right
so
I'm
gonna
ask
a
really
basic
question
for
since
we're
talking
about
quality
of
life
being
the
underpinning
for
the
smart
city
intelligence
community,
who
would
like
to
be
able
to
get
from
here
to
Tyson's
Corner
without
you
know,
or
from
here,
to
Woodbridge,
without
being
stuck
in
traffic,
or
you
know,
sitting
at
a
traffic
light
for
two
to
three
minutes
when
there
is
no
vehicle
coming
on
the
other
unopposed
sides.
Can
we
talk
about
the
smart
in
in
that
area?
D
E
There
is
one
being
about
silos
and
Bob
talked
about
silos
within
the
county
and
there
are
all
sorts
of
problems
with
silos,
but
the
other
silo
is
that
Arlington
is
one
entity
and
there's
the
Fairfax
County
and
there's
Alexandria
and
what-have-you
I've
even
proposed
the
idea
that
we
have
a
centralized
911
center
for
the
entire
region,
which
would
be
much
more
cost-effective
and
we're.
Also,
we
have
a
real
problem:
staffing
9,
you
know
724
the
facility
we
have,
but
that's
the
other
problem
is
that
getting
all
these
counties
to
work
together.
E
I
think
Jack
can
tell
us
about
the
system
that
now
you
can,
if
you're
living
in
Arlington
County,
but
you
have
a
fire
and
the
nearest
fire
engine
is
in
Fairfax
or
you
have
a
crime
that
it
will
be
dispatched
from
Fairfax.
So
we
do
have
that
going,
but
there's
a
lot
more.
We
could
be
doing
in
terms
of
traffic
management
that
doesn't
exist.
Yet
you.
F
Mentioned
that
your
initial
question
was
about
mobility
again
and
travel,
and
this
whole
notion
of
autonomous
mobility
and
autonomous
vehicles
that
you
know
we're
all
just
scratching
the
surface
with
and
trying
to
understand
what
the
opportunities
and
challenges
will
be.
I
mean
all
of
you
have
great
power
and
your
smart
phones
and
devices
to
work
with
uber
and
lyft
that
you've
never
had
before
in
some
ways
to
to
achieve
a
new
level
of
mobility.
F
But
once
these
new
vehicles
become
online
and
become
integrated
as
a
system,
not
just
in
Arlington
but
regionally,
it's
going
to
press
it's
going
to
bring
both
regional
county
and
local
planners
together
to
think
about
how
that
connectivity
of
these
different
types
of
Atanas
mobility
are
going
to
interact
and
what
the
implications
will
be
for
our
communities.
You
know
some
of
the
great
opportunities
that
they're
going
to
face.
F
It
will
further
address
the
congestion
issue
in
Arlington,
which
we
have
done
I
think
an
excellent
job
at
in
reducing
congestion,
some
of
our
major
thoroughfares
through
adding
layers
of
new
mobility,
ensuring
those
those
types
of
mobility
with
Metro
are
well
connected,
but
the
opportunity
to
further
reduce
congestion
through
and
reduced
and
increased
safety
through
autonomous
travel
again.
The
future
of
that
is
just
tremendous.
F
That
will
mean
that
probably
we
can
rethink
how
we
use
a
lot
of
that
parking
space
on
our
roads
and
in
some
of
those
right
away
if
we're
moving
cars
more
efficiently
and
they're
moving
themselves
and
a
very
coordinated
and
inter,
inter
interconnected
way,
just
think
of
all
the
space.
That's
in
many
of
our
parking
garages
today,
that's
underutilized
and
the
opportunity
to
tap
that
space,
because
we
can
have
a
more
holistic
approach
to
how
these
autonomous
vehicles
may
park
themselves.
And
so
the
history
is,
is
the
optic
n't.
F
That'll
need
to
be
addressed
by
that
transportation
as
well.
So
what
will
that
mean
for
transit
in
Arlington
and
Metro?
If
you
have
that
new
type
of
vehicle,
what
will
it
mean
to
surface
transportation
for
Metro
and
both
art?
And
those
are
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about
and
utilize?
Our
master
transportation
plan
to
address
I
think.
D
F
K
K
You
know
Amazon
I,
just
have
a
little
anecdote
of
getting
a
product
from
Amazon
doing
something
really
stupid
with
it
telling
them
this
doesn't
work,
they
just
said
send
it
back
and
they
sent
me
another
one
as
soon
as
I
opened
it
I
realized
what
I'd
done
wrong
so
Amazon's
way
of
dealing
with
it
is
basically
to
say
the
customer
is
right,
and
you
know
whatever
and
that's
not
every
company
did.
You
know,
deals
with
it
that
way,
but
there's
just
something
frustrating
about
not
being
able
to
talk
to
somebody.
It's.
F
Really
a
great
issue
and
again
urban
planners
urban
designers.
All
of
us
enjoy
great
public
spaces,
the
ability
to
be
on
a
sidewalk,
that's
active
that
faces
retail
and
restaurants.
It's
one
of
the
hallmarks
of
what
we've
achieved
through
all
this
smart
growth
planning
over
the
years.
I,
don't
think
that
will
ever
disappear,
but
it'll
probably
change
you
mentioned
Amazon
and
there's
a
good
example
where
there's
probably
going
to
be
a
hybrid
between
this
on
time
online
and
on
demand
with
bricks
and
mortar.
F
A
real
face-to-face
contact,
but
also
linking
on
demand
the
there's
a
retailer
down
on
Wilson
Bull
that
it's
sales,
while
it
has
bricks-and-mortar
sales,
the
number
of
online
sales
that
they
provide
their
customers
is
leading
the
nation
and,
and
so
there's
going
to
be
some
form
of
hybrid
here
that
we're
finally
going
to
get
to
and
I
hope.
We
never
replace
those
face-to-face
interactions
and
contacts
and
and
opportunities
to
discuss
as
we're
having
tonight.
I'll.
D
C
Frank
I'm
38
year
resident
here
in
Arlington,
County
and
growing
up
here,
I
remember
the
days
where
you
you
had
face-to-face
interactions
with
people
here
and
a
small.
Let's
say
you
needed
to
get
your
TV
repaired
and
just
come
up
to
places
here
in
long
Wilson
Boulevard
and
they
would
join
there
and
you
talk
to
somebody
about
placing
one
of
the
vacuum
tubes
or
something
like
that
or
the
interesting
times
back
then,
as
far
as
I
can
remember,
but
it
seems
like
where
we're
coming
through
sort
of
this
I
mentioned
earlier.
C
A
quantum
leap
change-
that's
gonna,
occur
here
in
the
next
few
years.
I
want
to
get
your
perspectives
on
infrastructure
in
terms
of
how
can
we
prepare
ourselves
from
an
infrastructure
standpoint
and
then
also
from
Internet
of
Things,
and
maybe
you
can
elaborate
on
that,
but
the
Internet
of
Things
in
the
world
and
how
can
our
Lincoln
County
use
best
use
those
from
an
analytics
perspective
to
really
get
to
what
we
need
for
the
county
and
for
the
residents
before.
D
E
Let
me
start
on
an
Internet
of
Things
that,
increasingly
almost
everything
will
have
some
communications
capability
to
report,
your
car,
your
toaster,
your
washing
machine,
or
what
have
you
and
there's
one
study
done
by
a
Wind
River
that
projected
that
increase
of
30
fold
time
the
amount
of
communications
that
would
result
from
the
Internet
of
Things
in
just
the
next
20
years?
And
that
means
that
between
RFID
everyone
know
that
term.
E
In
other
words
the
ability
to
have
sort
of
a
smart
inventory
and
know
exactly
where
all
your
products
are.
So
you
don't
do
audits,
anymore,
inventory
control,
that's
all
auda
mated
now,
and
the
thing
is.
This
means
that
the
majority
of
broadband
communications
really
will
be
machines
talking
to
machines
that
I
literally
have
in
created
the
term
and
some
books,
I've
written
called
the
internet
of
everything
that
this
will
be
a
great
boon
for
like
doing
your
inventory
control
or
what
have
you.
E
But
it
also
means
that
you
are
exposed
to
a
lot
of
potential
cyber
criminal
behaviors.
There
are
even
examples
of
people,
hacking,
baby
monitors
and
looking
in
at
babies
and
a
whole
host
of
other
things
that
can
be
hacked
and
that
most
of
the
distributed
denial-of-service
activities
actually
is
by
accumulating
all
of
these
Internet
of
Things
devices
and
then
being
able
to
send.
You
know
terror,
terabytes
of
information
that
a
think
now.
It
is
interesting
that
one
of
the
other
aspects
of
Chane
technology
is
that
also
it
can
defeat
the
distributed
denial-of-service
type
of
activities.
E
So,
as
almost
everything
with
technology,
there's
advantages,
there's
good
things
again,
and
there
are
bad
things.
That's
why
I
call
my
promise
and
pitfalls
that
we
have
to
be
aware
of
the
pitfalls
that
there's
the
pitfall
that
Herschel
talking
about
of
losing
the
human
dimension
and
human
interaction,
the
ability
to
automate
everything
means
that
things
could
go
terribly
wrong
if
a
techno
terrorist
or
a
cyber
criminal
got
control
of
your
system.
D
When
we
mentioned
RFID,
a
few
people
shook
their
heads,
which
just
means
radio
frequency,
identification
or
radio
frequency
ID,
and
it's
the
same
kind
of
technology
that
allows
you
to
remotely
open
your
car,
for
example
right.
So
we
on
the
set
clear
it
good
so
give
us
some
examples,
then
just
of
machine
to
machine
communication.
Just
for
you
know,
is
that
our
coffee
pot,
talking
to
you,
know
our
alarm
clocks.
What
do
we
mean
by
that
on
a
practical
level
and
into
I'm?
Looking
at
you?
Oh.
E
G
Well,
when
you
go
into
an
automation
phase,
that's
that's
what
we're
going
right
where,
when,
when
you
go
into
Internet
of
Things,
that
means
you're
an
interconnecting
everything
that
you
use
in
a
simplest
form
so
take
take
a
smart
house
concept
right,
which
is
also
evolving
a
great
deal,
and
eventually
you
will
have
to
take
that
into
account
when
you
design
and
build
smart
cities.
Very
smart
house
now
think
about
a
smart
house
when
internet-of-things
comes
to
the
smart
house
architecture
right.
G
You
really
have
a
perfect
example
of
machine-to-machine
communications
right
because
your
energy
is
connected
to
to
a
you
know
your
red
appliances,
for
example,
right
energy
supplies,
your
thermostat
will
control
the
appliances.
Your
iPhone
really
becomes
your
command
and
control
right.
You
can
do
anything.
Actually
you
can
do
most
things
right
now
you
can
control
you.
Can
you
know
close
and
open
your
curtains
in
a
smart
house,
you
can
open
the
door
and
and
train
your
dog
to
go
out
and
walk
and
come
back.
You
can.
G
So
I
think
when
we
go
into
this
Internet
of
Things
an
internet
of
everything,
you're
talking
about
interconnectivity
of
appliances
right
right,
that's
what
we
are
heading
and
is
there
a
danger
in
that
I
think
there
is
a
danger
in
everything
that
we
do
as
human
beings
I
personally
being
in
security
for
so
many
years,
I
subscribe
to
the
philosophy
that
human
beings
are
secured
only
for
nine
months
and
an
insecurity
of
life
begins
the
day
you
were
born
and
in
and
stays
with
us
until
we
leave
this
planet
Earth.
So
what
is
our
role?
G
Then?
Our
role
is
to
mitigate
the
risk
every
day
with
that's
what
we
do
and,
and
the
technology
has
a
very
important
role
to
play
in
that
the
technologies
are
designed
in
a
smart
city
for
communication
for
convenience
and
for
security
with
with
citizens
point
of
view
in
a
smart
city.
That's
what
you
look
for!
Is
it
going
to
enhance
your
quality
of
life?
Is
it
going
to
make
your
family
and
your
neighborhood
more
secure?
Are
you
going
to
have
services
delivered
by
the
government
on
time
at
lower
cost
right?
G
L
D
L
As
a
place
like
Arlington
looks
to
proceed
with
a
number
of
different
initiatives,
and
a
second
thing
is:
have
you
seen
any
change
in
procurement
or
capital
expenditure
as
a
result
of
looking
at
new
utility
for
things
like
streetlights
or
for
fiber,
or
for
whatever?
It
is
that
you
might
be
traffic
lights?
That
you're?
Looking
at
you
use
this
for.
E
E
E
But
we
also
will
have
them
smart
so
that
we
can
have
them
brightest
during
the
traffic
hours
and
then
them
down
gradually
over
the
evening
and
then
be
very
low
at
like
1:00
to
4:00
in
the
morning,
and
also
we
can
now
commend
those
streetlights
to
become
you
know:
smart
Wi-Fi,
centers
and
so
on
for
a
variety
of
activities
for
crime
control
or
communications
or
what-have-you.
So
we
are
well
into
that
system
that
have
been
doing
this
for
the
last
I
think
five
years
now.
D
E
Some
people
got
very
upset,
they
didn't
like
the
whiteness
of
the
glare,
and
so
we
had
to
design
some
of
the
systems
so
that
they
were
shielded
from
residential
areas.
So
again
you
know
the
technologists.
They
just
look
at
what
we
want
to
do
and
then
the
community
has
to
get
involved
and-
and
the
Civic
Federation,
for
instance,
recommended
that
there
be
a
trial
implementation
in
just
one
part
of
the
community
to
see
if
there
were
problems
and
that
wasn't
done.
And
then
there
were
problems
so
so.
D
G
G
So
you
know,
based
on
my
experience
of
last
15
years,
we
learn
a
lot.
You
know
the
first
question
that
you
have
to
ask
why
some
is
smart
city
projects,
succeed
and
others
fail
and
and
what
we
have
learned
that
it's
not
the
money
that
makes
a
smart
city
fail
or
succeed.
You
can
put
all
the
capital
investment
in
it
and
you
still
not
make
it.
It
starts
with
human
imagination.
G
Okay,
you
start
there
and
the
vision
creating
the
vision
for
Arlington
is
smart
city
and
then
converting
that
to
a
strategy
leading
that
to
a
plan
and
then
go
into
implementation.
So
what
we
have
learned
that
you
create
all
these
things
when
I
did
the
Singapore
intelligent,
Island
project?
It
was
implementation
roadmap.
An
implementation
plan
was
for
15
years.
So
one
one
lesson
that
we
learn
that
you
start
small
and
grow
big.
G
A
lot
of
times
I
have
seen,
and
particularly
the
the
cities
and
the
city
leaders
will
push
to
work,
grand
ideas,
grand
plan
grant
program.
You
know
hundred
million
dollars.
No,
that's
not
over.
You
started.
The
smart
city
is
based
on
a
long
term
vision
with
short
term
projects.
That's
a
list
of
number
one.
Okay,
you
start
implementing
slice
by
slice,
not
the
whole
thing
at
the
same
time.
The
second
thing
is
that,
from
the
very
beginning
is
very
critical.
A
critical
success
factor
in
smart
city
is
to
involving
the
community.
G
I
have
seen
a
smart
city
fail
because
the
communities
were
told
after
the
whole
planning
process
has
been
completed
right.
That's
it!
No!
No
and
I
won't
name
the
cities
where
I
work,
but
I
can
tell
you
that,
whatever
we
work
with
the
cities,
now
we
involved
the
community
first.
This
is
a
good
way.
To
start
I
mean
the
digital
destiny
is
nobody's
in
America,
doing
no
sirree
that
I
know
other
than
Arlington.
G
Ok,
I
have
not
been
to
a
single
forum
I'm
what
we're
involved
in
a
project
right
now
we
are
taking
a
city
to
the
second
level
of
a
smart
city,
implementation
right
and
the
first
city.
Not
a
single
citizen
was
involved
in
that.
That's
that's
not
how
you
succeed
so
involving
people
lesson
number
two
is
involved.
People
is
very
important.
G
Third
is
what
is
happening
now
is
smart
city,
because
when
you,
you
know,
smart
city
also
means
some
things
will
get
outdated
and
there
is
a
cost
to
that
right
because
investment
has
been
made
in
that.
So
what
is
happening
now
that
the
public-private
partnership
is
really
driving
most
of
this
smart
city,
because
people
want
all
the
benefits
that
what
they
don't
want
to
pay
more
taxes,
okay,
and
so
the
third
lesson
is
that
the
successful
smart
cities
today
is
based
on
public-private
partnership.
There
are
places
where
the
private
money
can
come
in.
G
There
are
companies
right
now
that
that
invest
in
a
smart
city,
so
they
will
take
over
the
traffic
light
they
change.
They
invest
in
that
X
number
of
years.
They
have
a
mechanism
to
really
get
return
on
their
investment,
and
then
you
own
the
place.
Cities
cannot
invest
in
everything.
Most
cities
don't
have
that
much
money
to
really
invest,
and
one
of
the
biggest
thing
that
is
not
happening
in
our
country.
G
Right
now
is
that
federal
government
is
taking
no
interest
purely
to
to
really
promote
and
build
and
design
a
smart
city,
hopefully
hopefully,
when
we
have
a
trillion
dollar
infrastructure
bill
and
that
passes
there'll
be
the
ideal
time
to
really
link
a
Smart
City
project
to
that,
because
you
don't
want
to
just
build
infrastructure,
you
want
to
build
intelligent
infrastructure
that
can
benefit
the
community,
so
those
are
the
things
that
is
happening.
I
think
is
going
to
happen
so.
I
D
I
Name
is
Trey
Gordon
ER
I've
been
a
resident
of
Arlington
for
about
18
months
now,
anyhow,
my
question
really
dovetails
nicely
off
of
the
public-private
partnerships.
Comment
I've
been
watching
the
coverage
of
sidewalk
labs
in
Toronto
with
great
interest,
seeing
for
context
a
Google
subsidiary
won
a
contract
to
redevelop
a
portion
of
Toronto
completely
as
sort
of
a
next-generation,
smart
city.
My
question
is:
you
know
looking
at
that,
especially
and
looking
at
public-private
partnerships
and
these
proprietary
systems.
How
do
we
ensure
that
a
smart
city
is
not
a
privatized
city.
G
Well
there
to
answer
to
your
question:
first
of
all,
Google
just
bought
62
acres
in
Phoenix
and
they're.
Building
in
you
is
smart
city.
So
that's
a
privatized
city
and
that's
going
to
happen,
and
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
that.
Okay,
but
you
have
to
think
about
these
corporations.
They're
they're
a
center
of
innovations
right
they
develop
the
technology
that
art
is
going
to
be
part
of
a
smart
city.
So
your
Google,
your
Microsoft,
would
be
smart
to
buy
land,
build
a
smart
city,
put
all
of
your
technology
and
experiment
and
showcase.
G
So
that's
what
they're
doing
the
public-private
partnership
and
I've
been
involved
in
a
couple
of
those
for
this.
Smart
city.
Cities
is
still
in
control,
even
though
the
money
comes
from
outside
and
they
should,
because
you
do
not
want
proprietary
technology,
you
don't
want
I,
be
M
to
provide
the
hardware
and
software
and
middleware
everything
and
design
and
build
your
smart
city.
Then
you're
stuck
with
this
for
eternity.
G
E
The
thing
is:
there's
another
concern
on
the
other
side
of
the
coin.
If
you
read
what's
happening
in
China,
where
they
have
been
buying
tens
of
millions
of
sensors
and
they
did
an
experiment
with
a
reporter
where
to
locate
him
as
a
quote
criminal
and
it
took
him
five
minutes
walking
around
to
be
spotted
and
on
the
cameras,
and
they
knew
exactly
where,
where
he
was
and
part
of
this
new
system
in
China
is
that
they're
creating
a
kind
of
a
good
citizen,
social
index
and
what-have-you
and
monitoring
people's
behavior
and
their
interventions
online.
E
F
We
talked
about
the
social
economic
structure
and
how
to
integrate
this
technology.
So
it's
fair
and
equitable
and
makes
a
difference
for
all
of
us.
That's
really
where
some
of
the
challenges
are
going
to
be.
We
can
learn
from
those
new
places,
learn
from
private
innovation
and
applications,
but
how
we
begin
to
apply
and
marry
that
I
think
to
everyday
communities
and
urban
life
is
going
to
be
an
interesting
thing
for
us
to
experience.
If.
G
I
can
add
one
more
thing
and
that's
a
very
good
point,
but
one
of
the
things
that
is
also
happening
and
I
believe
in
that
that
the
series
today
for
their
future
development
series
itself
have
to
become
Innovation.
Center
and
Arlington
is
a
good
example
for
that:
okay,
they
have
to
innovate
and
renovate
themselves
by
taking
other
people's
ideas
and
technology
and
and
and-
and
that
is
some
of
the
cities
are
doing
that.
So
you
go
to
Rhode
Island,
where
we
are
working
right
now
in
Newport.
G
They
have
created
this,
what
they
call
innovation,
district,
okay
and
and
that's
basically,
the
62
acres
waterfront
property
that
is
going
to
be
a
campus
environment,
design
to
attract
new
businesses
to
come
in.
Like
the
you
know,
quantum
computing
is
coming
and
others
to
really
now
look
at
it.
It's
a
city
of
24,000
population
is,
is
one
of
the
small
smallest
cities
in
America
can
think
that
big
by
becoming
an
Innovation
Center,
yes,
can
Arlington
become
the
Innovation
Center.
G
F
F
City
office
space
built
in
the
1970s
80s
19%
vacancy
rate.
How
do
you
fill
some
of
those
vacant
buildings?
One
example?
Twenty
third
and
and
us
one
former
federal
office
building
now
converted
we
work,
we
live
where
you
have
a
vertical
set
of
four
neighborhoods
blending
residential
units
with
workplaces
that
bring
collaboration
and
innovation
among
the
folks
that
live
in
that
building,
to
engage
and
produce
new
ideas,
innovative
technology
and
use
all
the
tools
we've
been
talking
about,
and
probably
Martha
also
use
crowdsourcing
to
get
funding
to
get
their
innovations
off
the
ground.
F
J
D
Nine
minutes,
okay,
but
we
do
have
time
to
continue
this
here
for
about
another
15
or
20
minutes
after
that,
so
for
the
so
we
have
nine
minutes.
So,
let's
just
talk
quickly
about
the
cons.
There
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
pros
to
smart
cities,
intelligent
communities,
but
let's
talk
about
concerns
for
security,
safety
and
privacy.
E
First
of
all,
positive
I,
just
want
to
mention
of
that.
Arlington
has
tried
to
compete
for
this
intelligent
community
award
on
a
global
basis
and
we've
been
designated
in
the
top
seven
twice,
but
that
is
a
wonderful
resource
that
in
New
York
City,
there's
this
intelligent
community
forum
and
they
have
the
best
practices
of
over
300
communities
around
the
world,
including
the
ones
designated
as
the
best
in
the
world,
and
what
they've
done
positive
and
well
and
also
lessons
learned
and
bad
things.
E
I
mentioned
earlier:
the
problem
with
the
industrial
control
system,
the
SCADA
system
that
was
controlling
all
of
our
sewage
water,
traffic
lights
and
what-have-you,
and
it
was
not
secure
and
that
a
hacker
could
have
gone
into
the
system
and
rerouted
sewage
into
our
water
system,
lots
of
very
bad
things,
and
so
there
there
are
things
that
we
are
trying
to
do
to
maintain
our
community
better
and
that
the
protection
of
the
SCADA
system
is
a
key
thing.
We
so
often
when
we
talk
about
cybersecurity
and
security
of
systems.
E
We
forget
about
natural
disasters
and
things
that
could
go
wrong.
There
I
actually
recently
won
an
award
related
to
the
work
that
I'm
doing
with
regard
to
chromel
mass
ejections,
in
other
words,
a
massive
solar
storm
that
could
come
and
wipe
out.
Our
power
systems
are
electronic
grids
and
what-have-you,
and
if
something
like
the
so-called
Carrington
event
of
1859
happened
today
in
1859,
it
set
telegraph
offices
on
fire,
but
that
was
the
only
electronic
systems
out
there.
But
if
that
happened
today,
it
could
be
potentially
a
disastrous
event.
E
Lloyd's
of
London
did
a
study
and
they
projected
that
this
could
be
a
three
trillion
dollar
event,
not
billion
three
trillion
dollar
event,
and
that
we
could
wipe
out
the
grid,
and
it
isn't
something
that
just
happens
every
so
often
every
hundred
years
or
so
that
there
was
the
Montreal
event
of
1989.
There
was
the
Halloween
event
in
Scandinavia
in
2003
that
took
out
power
systems
from
these
solar
storms.
E
What's
particularly
an
issue
is
that
the
Earth's
magnetic
poles
are
slipping
and
that's
what
protects
us
from
these
solar
storms
and
that
some
of
the
models
indicate
that
our
protective
systems
will
go
down
to
15%
of
what
they
are
today.
So
I'm
working
with
people
at
NASA
and
the
whole
idea
of
a
solar
shield
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
got
this
award
relations.
D
G
So,
with
the
smart
city
point
of
view,
the
biggest
challenge
is
the
cybersecurity.
So
if
you
really
look
at
what's
happening,
there
is
a
big
transformation
that
is
taking
place
across
society
right.
So,
if
you're
a
city,
what
to
Ceres,
what's
their
primary
responsibilities,
cities
have
two
primary
responsibilities
as
far
as
I
am
concerned,
one
is
to
protect
and
serve
the
citizens
and
other
is
to
protect
critical
infrastructure.
G
Those
are
the
two
primary
role
of
any
city:
okay,
but
see
how
that
role,
particularly
with
the
critical
infrastructure
point
of
view
in
a
smart
city
environment,
is
getting
very
complicated.
So
jack
has
one
of
the
best
teams
that
I
have
seen
any
city
has
not
only
in
America
but
in
the
world,
and
I
have
been
to
82
countries
in
the
last
19
years,
build
systems
in
44
countries,
so
I'm
speaking
from
experience,
so
you
got
fundamentally
in
any
cities.
You
have
three
systems
right.
You
have
IT
system,
which
is
information
technology
systems.
G
That's
your
databases
are
that's
where
citizens
information
resides
your
tax
information,
your
property
information,
your
health
information,
very
vital,
and
so
with
with
a
smart
city.
Point
of
view,
data
protection
is
critical.
Now
you
know
10
years
ago
we're
talking
about
data
privacy.
To
me,
tarah
privacy
is
too
complex,
but
I
can
achieve
data
privacy
by
protecting
data.
G
You
know
so
so
IT
systems
have
to
be
protected,
and
then
you
got
like
Joe
said
what
we
call
ot
systems
operational
technology,
which
is
basically
your
SCADA
base
systems
that
operate
your
traffic,
your
sewer
system,
water
system
utilities,
almost
every
critical
infrastructure
is
based
on
one
very
old
system
called
SCADA,
it's
a
very
stable
system,
but
it's
the
old
system,
okay,
and
we
have
not
made
any
changes
in
the
system
for
a
long
time
to
come.
But
here
is
the
real
challenge
begins.
G
So
these
are
the
two
traditional
systems
that
that
city
manages
and
now
we're
gonna
have
a
new
system
that
is
going
to
be
called
IOT
right,
internet
of
everything
system
which
not
only
a
standalone
system
yourself,
but
it
also
integrates
both
previous
systems.
So
the
complexity
with
security
point
of
view
increases
by
leaps
and
bounds
right
and
it's
very
challenging.
So
it's
smart
city,
environment.
G
You
are
heading
toward
this
is
the
bad
side
of
this.
Some
serious,
you
know,
trouble
water
and
it's
not
just
the
Russians
and
the
Chinese.
The
threats
are
from
everywhere
and
most
of
the
threads
are
internal,
not
external,
unlike
the
unlike
the
physical
security
or
the
bad
guys
are
not
coming
with
guns.
To
kill
us
from
outside
a
lot
of
cyber
cyber
is
a
human
problem,
not
a
technology
problem.
G
People
don't
realize
that
and
we
you
cannot
solve
cyber
security
problem
just
by
buying
new
hardware,
and
software
I
have
seen
that
isn't
happen,
and
a
total
solution
for
sauer
in
my
viewpoint,
is
at
least
twenty
to
twenty-five
years
away.
So
we
just
have
to
manage
it.
We
still
are
going
to
build
a
smart
city,
but
we
have
to
manage
it,
but
you
can
see
the
complexity,
how
it
increases
once
you
go
into
this
interconnected
world
with
Internet
of
Things
driving
everything-
and
it
was
our
point
of
view
you
have
seen
nothing.
D
E
Absolutely
that's
why
the
Civic
Federation
the
committee
100,
which
is
also
meeting
tonight
also
Arlington
community
for
a
clean
environment,
is
meeting
across
the
street.
We
have
more
institutions,
more
commissions,
schools
and
county
than
any
community
I
know
per
capita.
It's
like
we're
all
Unitarians,
but
the
the
point
is
that
that
is
what
makes
Arlington
unique
and
different
and
I
think
a
great
place
to
live.
Is
that
Network
and.
F
D
G
G
Okay,
it
will
have
a
smart
school,
smart,
Hospital
and
Clinics
smart
airport,
a
smart
transportation
and
a
well-connected
a
smart
community.
Now
Arlington
is
blessed,
you
have
airport,
you
have
universities,
you
have
hospital,
you
have
everything,
but
nothing
is
a
smart
I'm,
sorry
to
say
that,
but
it
will
be
okay.
G
G
It
will
have
80%,
plus
citizen
participation
in
the
democratic
process,
critical
without
interference
from
Russians
and
Chinese,
so
the
systems
will
be
systems
will
be
robust
to
really
protect
you
against
that
it
will
be
one
of
the
most
diversified
communities
in
the
nation.
Arlington
already
is
a
very
diversified
community,
but
it
will
remain
so.
It
will
be
a
stronger
Arlington.
G
Will
continue
to
lead
regional
security
and
safety
which
are
engenders
right
now
and
it
will
present
a
proven
model
for
other
regions
of
the
country,
so
Arlington
truly
will
be
a
national
model
and
finally,
Arlington
will
become
an
innovation
city.
Okay,
that
will
lead
how
small
counties
can
really
develop
and
grow
and
live
in
peace
and
harmony.
That's
that's.
How
I
see
Arlington
2050
under
the
broad
umbrella
of
a
smart
city.
A
A
E
Well,
let
me
start
by
saying
emphasizing
something
that
I
said
that
we
have
this
remarkable
resource
in
terms
of
connect
Arlington,
but
it
has
not
reached
the
potential
that
it
should
have
gotten
in
one
hand
it
can
be
a
resource
to
the
business
community
and
to
the
government
to
provide
illuminating.
The
dark
fiber
for
private
use,
even
Verizon
could
use
that
resource
more
effectively,
and
we
have
not
done
enough
in
that
regard.
E
E
F
I'm
going
to
talk
about
two
things
very
quickly
and
one
we
didn't
talk
about
housing
and
we
about
the
workplace
of
the
future,
retailing,
Thomas
vehicles
and
so
on.
But
I
didn't
talk
about
housing
for
a
number
of
reasons,
and
this
county
has
been
committed
to
ensuring
we
talked
about
diversity
law
tonight,
ensuring
we
have
a
diverse
population.
F
That
is,
where
we're
really
challenged
and
the
county
board
has
established
an
affordable
housing
master
plan
and
a
set
of
implementation
strategies
that
we're
implementing
and
we're
working
in
partnerships
there,
as
well
with
not-for-profit
and
for-profit
housing
providers
to
try
to
meet
our
goal
of
preserving
hundreds
of
units
creating
hundreds
of
units
for
housing
a
year.
We're
going
to
have
to
continue
to
look
for
alternative
ways,
maybe
even
crowdsourcing,
to
find
ways
to
fund
and
support
affordable
house
in
Arlington.
F
Lastly,
we
talked
about
this
building
and
it's
transitioned
into
really
a
smart
place
to
work
innovative
place
to
work.
You
can't
do
that
without
great
people,
a
great
work
force
and
we're
very
fortunate,
gnarling
you're,
very
fortunate
Arlington,
that
your
staff,
the
men
and
women
who
who
are
committed
to
delivering
services
to
supporting
every
aspect
of
life
in
Arlington
are
some
of
the
best
in
the
country.
F
I've
worked
across
the
country
and
planning
in
a
number
of
areas,
and
this
workforce
is
one
of
the
strongest
and
I
have
to
have
a
shout
out
for
our
planning
staff.
We
have
one
of
the
smartest
one
of
the
most
dedicated
committed
group
of
planners
in
this
region,
maybe
across
the
country
that
are
committed
to
this
concept
of
smart
city
and
planning,
and
we
won't
get
there
without
type
of
Workforce
and
that
type
of
planning.
So.
G
I'm
going
to
get
little
philosophical
here,
I
see
a
smart
city
in
Arlington
future,
but
here
is
my
caution
when
you
set
out
to
build
your
smart
city.
Most
new
technologies
are
very
disruptive
in
nature
today,
and
they
will
continue
to
be
so
so.
Selecting
the
technology
for
your
smart
city
and
smart
city
solution
is
is
very
important
and
they
should
they
should,
including
this
smart
city,
whole
vision
and
council,
smart
city.
They
should
reflect
on
the
cultural
value
and
the
lifestyle
of
the
community.
G
Don't
get
carried
about
carried
away
because
the
technologies
are
very
seductive,
I've
been
in
this
business
won't
like
and
they
can
force
you
to
do
things
that
you
do
not
necessarily
want
to,
and
that's
where
the
smartness
comes
in
planning
and
so
protecting
cultural
values
of
the
community
and
the
lifestyle
is
very
important.
As
you
modernize
yourself
through
a
smart
city,
Emily.
D
Oh
okay,
I
get
to
answer
this,
so
I
I
think
I'm
gonna
weigh
in
a
bit
philosophical
as
well,
and
you
know
my
feeling
is
that
smart
technology
or
technology
in
general
really
amplifies
who
we
are
as
a
society
and
if
we're
going
to
survive
on
on
this
rock
that's
kind
of
hurtling
in
space
and
time
we
really
have
to
take
care
of
each
other.
We
have
to
do
that,
and
so,
as
we
build
advanced
technologies,
we
really
have
to
make
sure
that
they're
consistent
with
our
core
compassionate
values.
D
We
have
to
have
compassionate
core
values
because
it
doesn't
really
matter.
You
know
if
you're
talked
a
lot
about
artificial
intelligence
and
we
talked
about
advanced
technologies
that
will
limit
or
eliminate
humans
in
the
loop.
But
as
we
build
these
technologies-
and
we
stay
consistent
to
those
values,
then
I
think
we'll
find
that
we,
our
humanity.
The
technology
will
then
showcase
our
or
humanity.
It
will
amplify
those
core
values.
I
think
we
have
to
pay
attention
to
that.
Well,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
tonight,
I
want
to
thank
my
staff.
We've
been
here,
Holli
Otto,
that
olive
work
that
she's
done
it
with
us.
They
make
this
happen
tonight.
June,
the
6th,
we're
gonna
have
a
next
event.
It's
going
to
be
on
the
future
of
work
and
along
the
lines
of
what
we
just
talked
about
here.
A
If
you
look
at
our
educational
system
right
now,
our
colleges
and
universities
we're
producing
kids
that
are
coming
out
and
they
have
debts
that
we
didn't
have
when
we
went
to
college
and
it'll,
take
him
10
to
12
years
to
work
those
debts
down,
they
say
50,
57
percent
of
the
occupations
that
we
know
of
today
are
going
to
be
disrupted
in
the
next
five
years.
Automation
is
taking
place
everywhere.
What
are
we
going
to
do?
How
do
we
get?
A
How
do
we
make
sure
we
have
the
right
skill
sets
to
be
able
to
work
in
the
workforce.
The
majority
of
kids
graduating
from
college
look
back
and
say
it
wasn't
worth
the
time.
I
spent
the
four
years
of
getting
a
degree.
We
the
whole
mindset
we
have.
Is
you
learn
to
work?
You
go
to
school
to
find
a
job
and
maybe
we're
turning
that
paradigm
around
turning
the
stock
inside
out.
