Most cities are trying to build the future by implementing someone else’s present. They call this behaviour "best practice." Iain Montgomery, the host of the Challenger Cities podcast, would call it copying someone else's homework.
New technology promises groundbreaking transformation, but often falls short. Rather than considering what's possible and reinventing themselves, many municipalities simply layer the new atop what already exists. In doing so, they make the same assumptions and answer the same questions with incremental improvements. The results are sometimes faster, and maybe cheaper, but seldom innovative.
And as cities consider how AI can help them, their efforts follow that same well-worn path.
The cities that will turbocharge and transform with AI won’t be the ones that implemented it most carefully. They'll be the ones who use it to ask a fundamentally different question about what their city is actually for—and have the confidence to act before anyone else proves it works.
