"I think that they are a testament to the reality that it will in many ways be the smaller cities that will be the leaders and rethinking their infrastructure and rethinking the way we want to live in this world," Uncharted Power founder and CEO Jessica O. Matthews told CBSN on Tuesday. The company recently completed the first phase in a pilot project that replaced sidewalks in the city's so-called Innovation District on Cannon Street with Uncharted's modular pavers, which come equipped with an operating system.
