The Dark Side of "SMART cities", "15 Minute cities" and "C40 cities" | Lisa Miron

You may have heard of the "Smart City" before, or maybe the "15 minute city" or "C40 city". But, do we really understand what they are and what they mean to our democracy? Host Sean Rasmussen speaks with Lisa Miron about how these related initiatives are quietly changing the nature of municipal politics not just in Canada but around the world. And, why that might not be a good thing.

Lisa Miron has a degree in environmental science, and a Masters of Law with a focus on conflict of interest. She's a litigation lawyer, writer, activist and an outspoken critic of smart cities.
