WIRED: Columbus to become ‘the city of the future’

Columbus’ moment in the national spotlight hasn’t ended yet.

The same week National Geographic called Columbus the next epicenter of hip, tech magazine WIRED released an article today on the capital city’s victory in the Smart City challenge titled, “Columbus Just Won $50 Million to Become the City of the Future.”

WOW.

That’s the sort of praise that puts your city on the map. They didn’t even call us Columbus, Ohio–just Columbus.

Take that, Columbus, Georgia!

The article outlines a future where low-income neighborhoods like Linden are revitalized as a result of new transit options, since they currently suffer from a lack of mobility. It details the proposed “all-access transit pass,” a single card that would work for busses, self-driving city vehicles, ride-sharing services and even bike rentals.

Sounds great, right? Now we have to make it happen.
