Some of the Challenges facing our cities
Considerable population growth, social issues
Environmental & transport pressures
Constrained budgets
Have to stay competitive and achieve sustainable growth while ensuring good quality of life for all citizens.
Citizens are increasingly ‘internet citizens’, who expect city services to be available online.
We need to bridge the gap between the expectation of our constantly connected citizens and the services offered by cities
There is a need to develop improved, more efficient online public services, keep up with tech innovation and increase transparency by developing more open forms of government.
Great Expectations
Foster innovation, new businesses and economic growth
Foster social and digital inclusion
Improve sustainable mobility (e.g. real time public transport information, traffic flows)
Develop new services to measure and cut GHG emissions and change energy behaviour
Increase government transparency and citizen participation
Activate and strengthen quadruple helix co-creation (research, government, industry, civil society)
Cities enabling new services & citizen participation
The enabling tools
Digital strategy incorporated across the whole city administration
