The case for Big Data - Smart Cities and Spatial Planning
Computers now embedded in all sorts of devices
How cities function past vs potential
Pro-active planning and actions day by day to coordinate transport, energy, jobs, property, utilities, communications, public services
Informed Decision Making – predict rather than react – targeted and evidence based
Interaction with citizens
Issues of Anonymity, privacy and security
Removes duplication of effort – multiplier effect
Investing in infrastructure of digital technologies
Broadband, sensors, public service, standards, collaboration, Open data
Interaction between citizens and place makes for better evidence based strategic planning and has the ability to be transformative in terms of more targeted services reactive to time and place.
