Smart cities in the making: learning from Milton Keynes

This project will study the impact and engagement of “smart cities”. Smart cities use data from digital technologies to enhance sustainability, economic growth and openness. With more than half of UK cities undertaking smart projects, the team hopes that the findings will ensure smart city developments are accessible to as many people as possible. This study will focus on Milton Keynes and will explore what kinds of users, citizens and consumers are likely to be embraced by smart policies, technologies and visions. “Although local community and citizen participation is a prerequisite for a successful smart city, almost nothing is known about how smart policies and technologies actually engage city residents and workers,” said Gillian Rose, project lead and professor of cultural geography at the Open University. “Who are smartphone apps designed for and what social needs do they ignore? What kind of populations are described by smart data hubs, and who do policies using such data therefore address? Many are concerned that smart activity may well not reach socially marginalised groups and individuals, for example, and that it might therefore contribute to increased levels of social polarisation in cities between the digital ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’.” The project will allow the researchers the opportunity to answer these questions.
