Learn the Five Imperatives for a Smart City at the Future Citizen Innovation Series

Future Cities Catapult (FCC) has simplified the “smart city” concept into five imperatives to help get you started on your digital journey to citizen innovation.  Following the AWS UK Region Launch, we have collaborated with Future Cities Catapult to bring you the Future Citizen Innovation Series.

In January in London, we hosted the first week of sessions featuring Transport for London (TfL), The Met Office, Zaizi, KainosEvolve, DVLA and Future Cities Catapult talking about the Future of Citizen Innovation, Open Data, NHS, and how our customers are using the AWS Cloud to innovate today. Watch some of the event highlights in this video.

For our second week of this event series, we will focus on Smart Cities highlighting lessons learned from key city leaders. From 6 – 10 March, 2017, you can learn what makes a smart city “smart.” We distilled the topic into five imperatives to bring your Smart City project from an idea to a reality.

1. Integrated City Services – March 6th, featuring the London Borough of Kingston Transformation Programme
2. Dynamic Urban Planning – March 7th, featuring Urban Growth Planner by Future Cities Catapult
