A smart city uses digital technologies and data to improve city services, reduce costs and resource consumption, and better engage with citizens. It needs three things: 1) an ongoing register of its assets and resources, 2) a connected community to discuss needs and wants, and 3) a way to implement solutions to meet community goals. Leeds aims to become a smart, data-driven city by creating a platform to solve problems using open data and turning these solutions into products and services for all.
