8. YES, THERE IS A SMART CITY 4.0!
Terraforming of the digital world. Technology
becomes invisible. It’s about achieving
symbiosis between humans, nature and
technology!
Smart City 4.0 is being envisioned right now. It
is introducing:
Self-Managed Cities
8
PHILLIP ANDREWS - INTERNATIONAL INNOVATION CENTERS
Small Cities will be small cities that can be self-managed
It is close to impossible to retrofit existing cities!

9. 9
The Goal:
Lean, Clean, Green, …
Sustainable and Resilient Cities!
Smart is the new Green…!
Zero Carbon Footprint
Zero Waste
Zero Hunger
Zero Pandemics
Zero Harm
Zero Crime
Zero Surprises
Humanity’s future
depends on these
new designs

10. 10
Smart Cities is NOT a project. It is a multi-decade series of projects and programs!

11. HOW TO ACCELERATE PROGRESS
Involve citizens
 Town Hall Meetings; Educational Programs
 Hackathons
 Improve Communications
 Add new citizen-centric apps and social programs

23. Digitalization: Once you digitize a product or service (photography, finance, manufacturing, biology, etc...) into
1s and 0s, that product or service becomes an information-based technology and it hops on an exponential
growth curve. Something digitized can be replicated and transmitted for a near-zero marginal cost.
Deceptive Growth: During the early days of exponential growth, the doubling of small numbers seem
deceptively flat. Take for example the first Kodak Digital Camera that produced 0.01 Megapixel images. As it
grew from 0.01, to 0.02, 0.04, 0.08... they all seem like zero. Same w/Microchips and Moore’s Law.
Disruptive Growth: What follows early deceptive growth is disruption. 30 doublings later something has
grown 1 billion-fold. That first 0.01-megapixel Kodak camera is now generating a 10-megapixel image. The
result of which is the complete dematerialization and demonetization of film photography.
Dematerialization: Products and services are becoming bits. I no longer have a clunky GPS on the dashboard
of my car, today its an APP on my phone. Think about all the 1980s or '90s technology that now comes free on
your cellphone: GPS, two-way video conferencing, HD video, HD photography, radio, books, records, maps,
weather and much more. In Abundance I did a quick calculation to show that today’s smart phone comes with
over a million dollars’ worth of technologies from the 1980s.
Demonetization: Once a product/service has become dematerialized into bits, its cost of replication and
transmission is near zero and ultimately leads to their eventual demonetization. As an example, digital
photography has totally demonetized the field.
Democratization: As products and services dematerialize and demonetize, they become available to billions
of users across the planet. Today there are 3 billion people connected on planet Earth. By 2025 that will
increase to 8 billion connected individuals. Create a digital banking or insurance product and you have the
opportunity to market it across the globe.

29. KEY REALIZATIONS
Cities Of The Future & Participatory Democracy will work best with:
❖ Small Cities (manageable size)
❖ Mostly educated citizens
❖ Mostly civil-minded citizens that want to be
involved and aspire to improve society
❖ Leaders that are truly Servant Leaders
32

30. ANOTHER KEY REALIZATION
The New Normal (post COVID-19) work environment) will
require Managers and Leaders to become great Servant
Leaders
34PHILLIP ANDREWS - INT'L INNOVATION CENTERS
One of the major triggers is
Remote Work (a.k.a. Telework
and Telecommuting)

31. PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY IS A
MANIFESTATION OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP
35
Good government officials want
to involve people, listen to their
voices, empower them, help them,
take their advice, and act on that
advice!

32. SERVANT LEADERSHIP IS ALSO KNOWN AS:
❑ Agile Leadership
❑ Spiritual Leadership
❑ Ethical Leadership
❑ Charismatic Leadership
❑ Authentic Leadership
