Smart means many things to many people, the most important question is what does it mean to your region? The drivers for a “smart” city or region should be different in different areas. If you have an aging population and key drivers are around security, mobility and ease of transit your region does not need the same smart infrastructure as a region with a growing young dynamic that are reliant on smart phone interaction and constant connection to social media.

 

The concept of a Smart City or Region is not defined, there is no absolute definition of a smart city, no end point, but rather a process, or series of steps, by which cities and regions become more liveable and resilient, hence, able to respond quicker to new challenges.

TPL have worked with councils and regions for years to work through these drivers and key outcomes required to deliver a relevant smart city, not a marketing campaign.

 

TPL observe that many client strategies are predominately shaped by international manufacturers and Telecommunications provider offerings.  TPL offers a targeted and independent expertise to its clients.
