Smart Cities claim that the use of technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) are solutions to improve everything from critical infrastructure and public safety  to efficiencies in city energy use. 21 Cities across the US have just signed on to be so-called Smart Cities. They include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Austin, Seattle, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Dallas, Portland, Chicago, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Boulder, Denver and Columbus. 

The chosen cities are being intentionally crashed so that certain mega-conglomerates like BlackRock can pick up the real estate for pennies on the dollar. People will demand a solution to crime and degradation, which will be technology, AI and automation. China is the model for a technocratic dictatorship. John WIlliams gives the timeline for implementation and says that in the next 24 to 36 months these cities will make huge changes.
