Wild Card's description
A sudden step change in the intelligence of a city – and intelligence is not just about information, it is about thinking the information is necessary. This would have big impacts. Suddenly we see the possibility for cities to make rapid changes in the way that they work. They can make rapid progress in the low carbon agenda, or on crime, drugs, unemployment, social welfare, environmental improvement, simply by improving the intelligence of the system. Anything is then possible.
