  Must-see/ must-listen presentation at the City of Toronto 2.0 Web Summit, by Mark Surman on getting cities to think like the web: open, transparent, shared data, mashable, hackable, improve-able.
  QUOTE:
  three simple challenges to City Hall. They went something like this:
  
  1. Open our data. transit. library catalogues. community centre schedules. maps. 311. expose it all so the people of Toronto can use it to make a better city. do it now.
  2. Crowdsource info gathering that helps the city. somebody would have FixMyStreet.to up and running in a week if the Mayor promised to listen. encourage it.
  3. Ask for help creating a city that thinks like the web. copy Washington, DC’s contest strategy. launch it at BarCamp.
