“Smart cities is such a big phrase - what does it mean?” replies Paul Wilson. “Really the goal for a city is to become more livable rather than smart, and technology is one way of doing that. With that in mind we didn’t want to be lost in the

noise so we decided to call ourselves a ‘Programmable City’ because of developments

in SDN, and NFV. We see that as a game-changer because it promises to provide the

level of connectivity that would be needed for a ‘smart city’. “
