Three Ontario cities among 21 'smartest' global communities
Burlington, Ottawa-Gatineau and Waterloo are among the 21 smartest communities in the world.
The Smart21 list is compiled by the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), based in New York city, and evaluates cities based on their possession of six key capabilities: broadband infrastructure, knowledge workforce, digital inclusion, innovation and finance, marketing and leadership.
The 21 finalists have the potential to become one of ICF's top seven intelligent communities of the year. From the top seven, one exceptional community will claim the grand title of the year's Intelligent Community, to be announced in May 2007.
The three Ontario cities are the only Canadian communities to make it on the list.
