Crisis, Productivity Flat & Austerity:
In Greenwich, male full time hourly rates in
2016 were 42p less than in 2007
Part time jobs doubled between 2006-2017,
while full time jobs increased 30%
Government budget cuts of £11m in FY16/17
rising to £39m in FY19/20
Congestion & Emissions:
15-25% increase in Congestion in
Greenwich by 2031 (60% in
Central London)
NOx Emissions high in key areas of
the Borough

Demographic Change:
34% increase in Greenwich

AI & Computerisation of Services:
30% of jobs at risk from computerisation - low
skill, repetitive service jobs are at most risk.
Those earning below the LLW have more than

Smart city processes, with SDGs as our benchmarks, are the best way
to achieve our objectives for:
● sustainable and equitable economic development;
● a healthy society;
● peaceful, secure and happy communities
But it requires:
● A systemic, integrated approach, underpinned by strategy, and
delivered by key projects, with clear objectives;
● Investment in a competitive digital infrastructure, digital and
technician skills;
● Real partnership with the private sector – can’t be done alone;
● Commitment and courage to change 24

urban drone systems that place people’s needs
first.
59. What we have been up to
Bradford
London
Preston
Southampton
West
Midlands
60. What we have found
Cities want to seize the
opportunity behind drones …
but respond to what people
want for their communities.
61. What we have found
Explored five socially beneficial use cases
Technical feasibility
Economic benefits
Social impact
69. 2. Public engagement
4. Policy and regulatory
environment
3. Enabling technology
1. Business case
Need
Public trials seeking public input and generating
dialogue
Public trial and demos of services, stakeholder
collaboration with prize entrants throughout the
process
Access to testing environments and collaborative
incubation space with other entrants
Competitive challenge prize process (as above)
Competitive challenge prize process enabling
consortiums of industry and customers to demonstrate
safe, reliable urban drone service based on a viable
commercial case and offering public benefit, operating
BVLOS and with a high level of automation in a UK city,
in a way that is scalable and can interface with systems
on the ground and other drone services and low-altitude
airspace users, including scheduled and on-demand
drone services, and resilient to changing conditions such
as weather or emergencies.
Phase 3 Objective: To accelerate development of
urban drone services that bring public benefit to UK
cities by running an innovation challenge.
● Public engagement strategy design
● Stakeholder engagement through use
case design, testbed design and
challenge prize design
● Design virtual and physical testing
environments to enable development of
drone services that can meet the needs
of those scenarios;
● Challenge prize design (as above)
● Outline possible scenarios for urban
drone services in medical transport,
emergency response and infrastructure
maintenance in UK cities
● Design an incentive-based innovation
challenge to accelerate the
development of urban drone applications
that can safely and securely deliver
economic and social benefits to the UK.
Phase 2 Objective: To design the testing
capabilities and challenge prize specifications for
socially beneficial, city-based use cases.

75. Introducing Newcastle Helix
A landmark 24-acre global innovation district built to transform quality of life
The Helix is the only city-centre quarter of its kind in the UK. We have carefully
brought together word-class innovators, buzzing start ups an international brands
and actively help them collaborate to bring brilliant new products
and services to the marketplace.
Together we’re transforming the quality of life for families, communities
and cities around the world.

76. Visionary Inclusive
Driven Inspiring
We’re more than a
collection of buildings,
more than a collection of
technologists. Together,
we’re shaping how life can
be lived in the medium and
long term.
Meaningful engagement
with the city as a whole
is a measure of success.
So we want everyone to get
involved. Our language
reflects that.
Change doesn’t just come
from research. It comes
from the commercialisation
of research, creating
new businesses, new
products and new jobs.
By inspiring future
generations locally along
with the international tech
community, we can retain
Newcastle graduates and
inspire change.

Think of examples of community engagement around project delivery
stages.
How can we co-create the Smart City at each stage, what are the
barriers?
How to accelerate the adoption of new technology using co-create
delivery models for power, heat and transport services?
How do we create Smart City 3.0?
