......."Lastly, a city is not smart when it does not include all its stakeholders in the decision and planning process leading to new development. Public authorities, private companies, knowledge institutions and the city’s inhabitants all possess valuable knowledge and information about the city. A city which does not make use of the vast amount of valuable data is made up of a number of disconnected ‘silos of knowledge’, which do not learn from and inspire one another."

Mirko Presser: "Launching the Internet of Things Comic Book in autumn 2011 was a bit hectic. And, we have not learnt our lesson. This second version, the special edition of the comic book was pretty much thought up two weeks after the launch of the comic book. It had such a fantastic reception from all sorts of directions that we could not resist thinking of a special edition.
