Smart cities playbook
Connecting people, places and possibilities
Technology doesn't build a smart city. People do. Learn how cities worldwide are weaving fibre, Wi-Fi, 5G and IoT into the foundation for cleaner air, safer streets and stronger communities.
The smart cities playbook
What it takes to build a smart city
The smart city is no longer futuristic thinking. From Rome's ancient streets to Sunderland's docklands, our playbook draws on real deployments to reveal the seven steps behind every successful smart city.
Inside the playbook
Because technology alone is never the answer. The smartest cities start with their people, then build the connectivity to serve them. Here's what every city leader should know first.
Start with people, not tech
Every smart city begins with a vision for its citizens, then works back to the connectivity needed to deliver it.
Weave the network of networks
Fibre, public Wi-Fi, private 5G and LoRaWAN come together as one foundation for everything a smart city does.
The results are real
In Sunderland, connectivity blackspots fell by over 80%. In London, gigabit coverage leapt from 4% to 88%
Connectivity can pay for itself
A neutral host model turns connectivity from cost to revenue. Sunderland gained £66m a year in productivity.
