Smart Cities Policy Task Force

Chair: Steve Crout, Director of Policy and Resilience Programs

The Smart Cities Policy Task Force is working to ensure leadership at all levels of government – from the Trump White House to Congress to state capitols and city and county offices – understand that smart cities and communities must be front and center in any conversation about economic growth and sustainability. Smart cities and communities offer improved livability, workability and sustainability through the deployment of smart technology. Federal, state and local governments should work to coordinate policy around the development of smart cities and communities to the benefit of American citizens.

Our Smart Cities Policy Task Force includes global leaders in a range of business and industry verticals – including for-profit companies and leading trade associations. We also have members from academia, nonprofits, institutes and government, providing an unparalleled depth and breadth of policy insight and expertise to drive our efforts.
