Where IoT is the intersection between civic and government tech.
summary
Manhattan builds a borough-scale IoT stack: world's largest legally mandated open data portal created by a 2012 law, a local dashboard called BoardStat mapped to 12 community boards, and a Things Network rollout with LoRaWAN gateways in Harlem and multitech gateways in two offices. Concrete results include a civic analysis that recouped $2,000,000 in wrongly issued parking fines, companies like heat seek and PencilDick detecting illegal heat shutoffs and mold risk in ~180,000 public housing units serving ~600,000 residents.
