I’m a little sad to report that the ICF (Intelligent Community Forum) Smart21 cities have been announced and there’s not one Minnesota community in the mix. Dakota County made the list in 2010, 2011 and 2012 but did not apply this year. Here is the list:
Ballarat, Victoria, Australia
Castelo de Vide, Portugal
Columbus, Ohio, USA
Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Hsinchu City, Taiwan
Jiading New City, China
Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Mitchell, South Dakota, USA
Oulu, Finland
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Prospect, So. Australia, Australia
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Stratford, Ontario, Canada
Taichung City, Taiwan
Tallinn, Estonia
Taoyuan County, Taiwan
Tirana, Albania
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Wanganui, New Zealand
Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
