The document discusses smart cities and argues that retrofitting existing cities is more practical than building new smart cities from scratch. It proposes bringing consumers closer to technology companies' value chains by using cities as urban testbeds. As an example, it describes a partnership between the City of Lahti, a startup, and Finland's largest retail chain that created a new delivery service for the elderly and home-staying mothers by testing it in Bagarmossen, Stockholm first.
