images showing the Strategy of

the project

The Strategy From fast broadband (FTTP) to Public Wifi - to

smart environment sensors – to engaged citizens.

The Solution Fast public wi-fi to key locations – business

incubators, arts venues, public squares

Reflections

• Bottom-up broadband: need IP to make any of this work

• Respond to need rather – as there are many stakeholders in

the city – and good to partner with ones who will do

something with it

• We can’t control the outcomes – but shouldn’t want to – but

we’ve raised expectations and problems with delivering the

sensor network have caused difficulties about the city’s

ability to deliver

• Engage with citizens –hackers, citizen scientists
