CONSULTING

The smart city is a work in progress. We’ve only just begun. There are 570,000 local governments around the world. But only 2,500 are pursuing smart city projects. And a mere 145 in the United States are committed to building gigabit broadband. Just a handful are doing it strategically. Most are flying by the seat of their pants. Everywhere we look, we find cities that are just starting to grapple with the challenges of digital technology. A pioneering vanguard of cities are leading the way. But what can they teach the rest of us?

Bits and Atoms works with clients to help smart cities to flourish organically, by design. Founded by Anthony Townsend in 2012, we work with clients in industry, government, and the non-profit sector. Our approach emphasizes foresight, unconventional approaches to economic development, social capital analytics, and digital inclusion as keys to enabling urban innovation.
