Dubai has big global tech ambitions. It is creating smart city opportunities to bolster cities and create new one.
Additionally, Smart Dubai is looking to blockchain technology to help with smart city programs. Meanwhile, DubaiNOW lets Dubai residents gain many smart services through government entities.
Of course this is the same Dubai than almost went bankrupt in 2008 because of its ambitious plans, and many of its Smart Dubai services have something to do with government and regulation.
That’s the problem generally with smart city services. They may make your life easier, but they also build regulation into your life and even spying.
In that context both blockchain and smart cities are a two edged sword.
