Editor’s Brief

THERE ARE TWO BASIC WAYS TO MAKE A CITY SMART

1. Transform an existing city gradually—like Barcelona. 2. Build an entirely new smart city from the ground up—like NEOM.

The first path is slower, but less risky. The second is faster, but far riskier.

Which path do you think will gain broader acceptance—and ultimately transform our world?
