Smart City 2020

This is a quick and dirty article about some of the research projects going on at MIT’s Smart City initiative.  I’m really intrigued by the suggestion that programmable pixels can replace "cute new urbanist porches."  Think what you will about new urbanism, but I can’t imagine that something as practical as a porch could be replaced by a few configurable dots.  Smart indeed.
