The government perspective

“Against this context, cities across the UK are being forced to re-think their strategies and to innovate. However, the complexity and the pace of change, combined with the need for integrated and systemic solutions, are presenting a major challenge to local authorities who, traditionally, have developed responses in a “siloed” fashion.”

The key gap?



Three drivers


cities



achieve this


• Strong on vision,

opportunity and

case studies

• Vaguer on “how to”

• Case studies often

focus on point

solutions

Communities of practice

Industry white papers

• Authoritative on

analysis, trends,

international

comparisons

• Point to policy best

practices – but weak on

delivery

• Networking

• Case studies

• Some detailed reusable

tools

• But little on detailed

planning and delivery

frameworks

Academic research

• Top-level conceptual frameworks

• Drill-down research

• Weaker on practical delivery steps

Purpose and scope

The smart city framework (SCF):

• Is a guide intended for use by leaders, at all levels and from all sectors, of smart city programmes.

• Provides practical, “how-to” advice, reflecting current good practice as identified by a broad range of public, private and voluntary sector practitioners engaged in facilitating UK smart cities

• Does not intend to describe a one-size-fits-all model for the future of

UK cities. Rather, the focus is on the enabling processes by which

innovative use of technology and data coupled with organizational

change can help deliver the diverse visions for future UK cities in more

efficient, effective and sustainable ways.
