Recently, Rio de Janeiro established a unique center of operations that is revolutionizing city management and drawing thousands of eager visitors from around the world to learn from the new master. The hundreds of cameras and countless other sensors and devices scattered around Rio that live-stream data onto a vast video wall for round-the-clock monitoring are enough to classify the city as an innovative one.
