Towards a Connected London: Building a Smart City Digital Infrastructure
Date and Time
Location
London Convention Centre
Details
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. The City of London, LARG*net community partners, as well as others in the greater London regional area would benefit greatly from having just such a digital infrastructure. Together we want to start to towards this vision for our collective future benefit.
