The Challenge

At Connected Places Catapult, our Hyperconnected project endorsed by Innovate UK has explored and proposed governance, financial and policy instruments to help deliver such a programmes at scale.

Big developments in technology have been directed over the last few years at improving the environment in which we live and how we interact.

Many individual smart cities projects have been undertaken across the UK but face complex challenges when testing at large scale, or in combination with other services in the same place.

Our White Paper Smart City Demonstrators – A Global Review of Challenges and Lessons Learned outlines best practices and lessons learned captured from existing demonstrator projects to help guide and inform the next generation of city-based projects.

Our Governance & Regulation report available for download seeks to address some of the policy and regulatory challenges and opportunities that need to be considered when the public sector, regulators and commercial organisations work together to innovate.

And lastly, a comprehensive Playbook has been produced for asset owners, service providers, businesses, entrepreneurs and local authorities who wish to engage in deploying integrated city systems at scale.
