“A smarter city is a more collaborative, connected and responsive city. It enables greater data innovation to meet citizens’ needs.”
“A Smart City is a city that
integrates its systems -
from local labour markets
to financial markets, from
local government to
education, healthcare,
transportation and utilities -
to drive efficiency for the
benefit of its inhabitants.”
Data platforms like London Datastore - more data, higher quality enables better insight
Payment systems e.g. online, contactless - Lower f2f costs, fewer queues, better targeting
Sensors e.g. air quality, heat, energy, water, movement - better problem-solving/innovation
IOT/Smart street furniture e.g. security, EV charging, sensors, 5G & built environment buildings, public spaces - cleaner, greener, safer
Health tech e.g. personal devices, medical research - behaviour change, public health solutions for complexity, treatments and cures
Mobility e.g. more frequent trains, buses, ride-sharing - reduces congestion, promotes growth
Social e.g. open data, sharing platforms - transparency, community
resilience
Technology
enables vfm,
social and
policy outcomes
for citizens
Largest city in Europe, next to Moscow
32 boroughs (avg. pop c.250k) & City of London
Over 50 NHS Trusts
Major pan-London agencies (Tfl, Met Police, LAS)
48 universities
40+ Opportunity & Intensification areas
Leading tech hub (e.g. MedTech, AI) & FinTech base
➔ Lack capacity to understand, develop
& implement smart city strategies -
requires senior leadership
➔ Smart needs to be embedded in
statutory frameworks and plans
➔ Most funding still derived from
innovation pots & not linked to core
funding
➔ To be truly adopted by citizens a more
collaborative approach required
➔ Greater clarity needed for potential
private sector partners
Why aren’t
smart cities
smarter by
now?
Study of 21 cities globally by
Future Cities Catapult/Arup 2017
➔ Progress uneven across capital
➔ Not one but many smart cities
➔ Demand not for uniformity, but for
consistency in approach
➔ “More boldness” - trying things even if
they don’t succeed at first
➔ “Not about just about gadgets or
systems…” - put people first
➔ “Can’t build AI on legacy...”
