SCP E63: Smart from the Start, with Merrick Spain
Play • 28 min
In this episode of the Smart City Podcast, I had a fantastic conversation with Merrick Spain, the Smart Cities Lead for Telstra. We discuss the importance of community and civic innovation in the Smart City space, and also the need to develop a data culture before we get too excited about the tech. We also explore some of the projects Merrick is working on, particularly in the realm of Smart Regions, and the emerging trend of genuine collaboration. Merrick's favourite term is 'Smart from the Start' which I really enjoy. As always, I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed making it.
