SMART SHEFFIELD REPORT

SMART SHEFFIELD REPORT

2014-2015

The SmartSheffield programme was commissioned by Sheffield First Partnership and the Sheffield Executive Board to explore what a local “smart city strategy” could look like. The core of this work consisted of establishing a ‘city room’ engagement space and collecting challenges along with historic, current and proposed technology projects from a broad range of city actors and organisations over a three month period.

The insight gathered during this process informed the draft exit report, which laid out a thematic framework to guide policy-making as well as a roadmap of current and future activity, and recommendations.

As a result of this work, Sheffield was listed as a “Challenger City” in the Huawei UK Smart Cities Index, 2016.
