Smart cities improve quality of life for citizens by embracing digital technology, utilising data and fostering innovation. They are inclusive, connected, sustainable, resilient and prosperous. They address persistent problems, deliver improved community experiences and provide more efficient services. Ultimately, they are better places to live, learn, work and visit.

We believe becoming a smart city is critical to achieving our community’s clever and creative vision. Working closely with both citizens and stakeholders, we are developing the City’s first Smart City Strategic Framework to achieve a shared vision for the future of smart technology, open data and innovation within our region.
