The Intelligent Cities Project Report

The Global Affairs Institute (GAI) of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs was created in 1993 to integrate and focus the School’s research, training, and service activities in areas of international studies. GAI builds upon the Maxwell School tradition of producing a community of citizens, broadly schooled and skilled, whose signature is civility and civic-mindedness on a global scale. GAI’s central mission is to help prepare this and future generations of students, concerned citizens, scholars, public officials, and other professionals to address the opportunities and challenges presented by an increasingly interdependent world of diverse cultures, economies, and political systems. GAI’s Global Collaboratory, an interactive classroom equipped with satellite links for international broadcasts and teleconferencing, provides the technological tools to promote global awareness at GAI, the Maxwell School, and beyond.
