Walter -
you do yourself a dis-service; while you've done 500 posts here, some of us know you from "back in the days" of the idea lab, so...happy to see you again!
Is it possible to explore benchmarks for the Smart Economy/ Smart Cities areas? some scales, or yardsticks, to help interested people both see where they are, and be able to measure "progress" (that elusive concept!) after ...another 500 posts, exchanges & netowrking...?
Thank you!
