In the first episode of the Built for Digital series, Adam and Gavin sit down to take an honest look back at the smart cities era — what was promised, what was funded, and what actually delivered.From Australia's $50M federal investment to smart bins, smart parking, and smart barbecues, they unpack why so many initiatives collapsed the moment the funding dried up — and why the industry keeps making the same mistakes with each new wave of technology.They also dig into:• Why most smart city pilots led nowhere• Data quality: still the #1 Achilles' heel in 2026• The AI pilot problem — innovation theatre vs. real transformation• Why org structure and C-suite leadership are the real blockersThe verdict? The tech was never the hard part. Sorting your data out — and knowing why you're doing this — still is.
