The Intelligent Community of the Year was chosen from among the Top 7 and announced at the ICF Global Summit in June.
Chiayi City, Taiwan - an incredibly 'smart' city!
In Chinese, 'Chiayi' means 'awarded for loyalty'. The city was given this name in 1787 by the Chinese emperor after a 10-month siege, to reward the bravery of its citizens during that time. Chiayi City, now a provincial city of around sixty square kilometers in south-central Taiwan with a population of roughly 270,000 people, is being recognized once again for a very different sort of achievement.
