Description

Cambridge needs to grow and there are currently plans for over 33,000 houses to be built over the next fifteen years which will see an additional 50,000 people move into Cambridge and the surrounding area. This growth presents an unprecedented challenge for Cambridge and there is an immediate need to address the pressures this will put on mobility, the Environment, Health and Social Care and the potential impacts on quality of life for residents. Digital technology now underpins almost all aspects of modern living in every sphere across work, travel, leisure and health; and increasingly it impacts on the economic strength, sustainability and quality of life of all parts of the UK and beyond. Emerging “smart cities” technology which is set to have an even greater economic impact in the future, utilises digital connectivity, sensors and data in new and innovative ways. It will support: efficient resource management; environmental management, traffic congestion and other city management challenges and engage more directly with citizens. On the 4th of Aug 2015 the Smart Cambridge programme became a workstream within the Greater Cambridge City Deal http://www.gccitydeal.co.uk/. One of the first investments the City Deal has agreed to make to support the Smart Cambridge programme is the development of a ‘City Management Platform’ that will deliver two use cases:

• a journey planning tool which will have the ability to go over and above the current market leaders (Google, Apple etc.) • a baselining of the current data available within the city and the creation of visualisation and analytics tools to enable policy makers to be able to better use this data.
