The future-friendly city of Bristol received a notable Internet of Things (IoT) award for its programmable city initiative. Globe Newswire said that the southwest U.K. city recently won the Smart City Award at the World Communications Awards & Internet of Things Awards in London. The city was recognized for its Bristol is Open project, which is a joint venture between the Bristol City Council and the University of Bristol. The ambitious initiative is essentially an open “programmable city” project that allows citizens to digitally contribute to the functioning of the city itself. Specifically, the project creates an experimental high-performance software defined network.
