"a smart city built from the internet up "

* Rubbish bins full? The city knows and sends help.
* Demand pricing parking in a region
I can think of a dozen ideas in seconds.
The basic economics deny all 3 of your suggestions. The TTC doesn’t have smart buses. Garbage collection is regulated through citywide contracts to private collectors who are not going to waste their own margin on off schedule collection. Same with parking, which is run through a city agency Green P that would have to adapt its systems for one neighbourhood?
While all are theoretically possible it would require a lot more economic infrastructure than one corporate neighbourhood.
So set your expectations to more mundane levels. Public wifi and surveillance cameras like in Beijing.
the data collection/aggregation/analysis sound like the fast part of getting a bus to a route, even if it's bus drivers calling in to report a busy route. the slow part would be getting the bus to the route
The basic economics will change in time and there's no reason to wait for the planets to align to do some things. That's how you win. When the time is ripe, you've already solved the other problems.
This is the Newton. The iPad will come.
Honestly, I've had fewer greater compliments than "hype-filled futurist". Our fevered dreams will one day be reality.
