How can cities truly embrace technology to improve their operations and provide better public services? Despite no shortage of focus on this question, cities—with their entrenched ways of doing things and cautious approach—have struggled on this issue.

"While city authorities can’t create tech communities or entrepreneurs, what they can do is optimize the policy levers that are within their control to design the best set of conditions for innovation to flourish," it says.
