Towards a Connected London: Building a Smart City Digital Infrastructure

The 20th century economy needed a physical infrastructure such as roads and bridges. The 21st century economy needs digital infrastructure. Without reliable ultra‐high‐speed digital infrastructure that is scalable, universally accessible and equitably affordable, cities and countries will fall behind in building a new economy that fosters growth and innovation. Digital infrastructure has become a critical asset, an information utility, that must be developed just like other traditional human, financial, physical, and information assets.
