Summary: Hi #smartcommunity friends! And hello to our listeners in Helsinki, Finland, you are amongst this month's top city for episode downloads! I'm back with another bonus episode of the Smart Community Podcast sharing various guests answers to the question, 'Where to next with Smart Cities and Communities?" And this time I'm sharing with you the answers from these guests: •Simon Hunter from Episode 265 •Kris Libunao from Episode 274 •Raymond Sun and Susannah Wilkinson from Episode 276 •Miho Tanaka from Episode 277 •And finally Emily Yates from Episode 278 Some themes that come through in the guest answers are around digitisation, virtual and augmented reality and how these can assist with community engagement and creating more organised communities. Making processes more efficient, accessible and exciting helps build confidence in the community and with the right tools creates better engagement. When the community is better engaged their pain points are voiced and better understood. As Kris Libunao says, "Once communities are well organised, they will be more engaged, they will be more confident in terms of really voicing their opinions out." As always we hope you enjoyed listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.
