What is Innovation? Should we care?

What is innovation?

"An innovation is something original, new, and important in whatever field that breaks in to a market or society". Based on Frankelius, P. (2009), Questioning two myths in innovation literature, Journal of High Technology Management Research, Vol. 20, No. 1, pp. 40–51.

Case Study 2: Wireless City Capabilities

24

Context

Towns/Cities procuring WiFi coverage in town/city centres and/or public transport

Need

Local authorities currently collect footfall data but collection may be limited to key streets or lack granularity.

Understanding how citizens and tourists use the town/city (streets visited, direction of travel dwell time, use of public transport routes, get on/off public transport)

Solution

Depending on suppliers offerings and procurement routes, Local Authorities may be able to negotiate access to anonimised footfall data for the area covered to review:

- City scape investment/regeneration

- Tourism attractions

- Optimise public transport, etc...
