It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence.

On this episode we hang out with Daniel Latorre, who wants to shift the focus from smart cities to "wise cities" -- a different approach to civic innovation and problem solving that decentralizes technology in favor of human beings.
