2011 -2015

2015 -2020

“Cambridge is a city of considerable magic” Lewis Herbert – City Council Leader

• 1525 tech companies, directly employing

over 53,000 people, with a combined turnover of over £11.8 billion

• Cambridge files more patents per head of population than the next ten highest UK cities combined

• Grown ten £1 billion-pound businesses (and one $20bn business) from scratch.

Economic Success – Cambridge Phenomenon

Educational Success

In 2012, the student population was estimated at 29,087

Tourism 4.5 million People visit Cambridge each year

Quality of Life

• 743.59 hectares of protected open space

• Highest rate of cycling per head in UK • 1,500 listed buildings; 13,000

properties in 11 conservation areas – Quality built environment

• Arts and Culture

Challenges

Growth - 2031 •Approx. 33,000 new houses •Population increase of approx. 50,000 people •44,000 new jobs •Constrained City

Ageing Population •By 2022, Cambridgeshire social services expect more than 3,000 people aged over 90 and an additional 4,500 aged between 75 and 90.

Reducing Budgets •£115m in last 3 years, another £121.4 million over next 5 yrs – overall budget of £1.3b over the whole County (680,000 pop)

Greater Cambridge is growing

‘Wicked Problems’ • Transport

• Congestion – increasing pressure on the network • Already high levels of cycling/public transport use

• Health and Social Care • Ageing population • Increases in demand as Cambridge grows • Pressure on budgets

• Energy • Grid Capacity • Energy Security • Carbon emissions

• Digital/networked society • More people have the ability to connect, share and take action

independently of traditional institutions and structures.

How Can Technology help solve these problems?

Smart Cities "The concept is not static: there is no absolute definition of a smart city, no end point, but rather a process, or series of steps, by which cities become more “liveable” and resilient and, hence, able to respond quicker to new challenges." GOV.UK Smart cities: background paper

"A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses." EC Digital Agenda for Europe: Smart cities

“Smart cities” is a term denoting the effective integration of physical, digital and human systems in the built environment to deliver a sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future for its citizens. (Working Definition) The British Standards Institute PAS 180

a city that uses information and communications technology to make both its critical infrastructure, its components and utilities more interactive, efficient, making citizens more aware of them. Committee of Digital and Knowledge‐based Cities

A smart city uses intelligent technology to enhance our quality of life in urban environments. Cities can use the data in a variety of ways; to save money, minimise waste, measure domestic water usage and manage transport routes. Department for Business Innovation and Skills

System of Systems – IBM/CISCO

Example - RIO

Top Down Singular focus on efficiency – lacks citizen focus

Bottom Up

Organic/flexible and citizen driven - Lacks clarity of purpose

Citizen Driven – Reliant on citizens and business to develop solutions

Middle Ground – Integrate city systems with citizen/business driven development - Clarity of purpose, build infrastructure which allows citizens to mould city

Connectivity

• Ensuring that we have 98% coverage of broadband county wide

• City already has 97 % coverage – looking to provide an additional 2%

Public Sector Network • connect over 400 public service sites, including schools,

libraries, county and district council offices, community action points, emergency services, citizens' advice hubs and voluntary groups.

Broadband roll-out

Public Access wifi • Public Building Wi-Fi – 60+ buildings • Open Space Wi-Fi for the Tour De France • Looking to expand further, working with Cambridge Univ

• Next Area – Jesus Green

Connectivity

Universities Fibre Network CCS – Microwave Backhaul Pilot

• Cultural change within the Public Sector • Identifying and unlocking datasets • Data Challenges – help address issues • Stimulate innovation and local economy

Transport Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Transport Strategy http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/info/20006/travel_roads_and_parking/66/transport_plans_and_policies/2 • Key aim - for more journeys to be made by bus, train,

bike and on foot so that traffic levels aren't increased. • Supports the delivery of the Cambridge and South

Cambridgeshire Local Plans

City Deal https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/321722/Greater_Cambridge_City_Deal_Document.pdf

• Support growth by investing in Infrastructure, Housing and Skills

• £100m in first 5 years – potential to unlock a further £400m

• Match funded with a further £500m

IoT data sharing & analytics across public & private domains

Use case: cycling in Cambridge & London

Summary of IoT Cycling project

Making private IoT data more useful & valuable

– combine with public data

– made discoverable through entitlement

– cross-domain analytics

Initial discussions

• Smart parking • More efficient use of traffic signals • Joining data up between local &

Strategic Roads • Better traffic modelling • Smart logistics

Health and Wellbeing

• New ways of looking after our older citizens that have high level medical, nursing and/or care requirements?

• New value and supply chains, new and exciting products and services and integrated community-centric systems that are scalable, sustainable and commercially viable.

Can we create a framework for lifestyles and support that is fit for purpose and

reflects 21st century living?

Can we transform long term care in the UK from an economic liability to a

dynamic engine of economic growth?

Project Summary http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/MLEI/

To develop the right finance and delivery framework for Cambridgeshire to secure increased investment into energy infrastructure.

• Set up a finance mechanism/ fund for investment into low carbon energy infrastructure

• Identify and set up appropriate delivery mechanisms

• Deliver an investment programme of public sector and community energy projects of at least €17.03 million via the Fund and delivery mechanisms

Conclusion

• This has to be a collaborative process, Citizens, Business, Educational Establishments and the Public

• Need to use digital technology to solve ‘wicked problems’

• Cambridge is well placed to exploit new and emerging tech

• Real opportunity to improve quality of life fro residents
