The journey continues…
• Our aim is to create a smarter city, not just a city where smart things happen
• Strong bottom-up approach
• Recognise that the role of the city is to act an enabler / facilitator to accelerate opportunities
• Real change will only be possible through city system integration and making data open and accessible
• A smart city is not about buying new technologies – It’s about learning to do things differently as innovation lies in the application of knowledge
