Within the IT department of the City of Palo Alto, managing technology is a byproduct of trying to change the world. We have a vision to think about and implement technology-enabled solutions in entirely new ways for the city. And while we can learn a lot from the amazing work being done by other cities and states across the US, we hope that we can also be a guiding light on what’s possible in this brave new world. In this short presentation, Dr. Reichental will introduce the concept of the digital city, and in particular he will discuss how some of the principles were applied recently to a GIS-based application.
