Wellington: Connected, People-centric

Multiple projects have been pursued through the Smart Wellington Smart City initiative, and these projects include the creation of an IOT backbone which allows for easy installation and nce of sensor technologies, the creation of a virtual reality engagement platform through which data is easily accessible, the creation of an inter-agency platform for sharing of data, and finally the bringing together of civic communities to tackle community and societal issues through the creation of applications, websites, and multiple other social media applications. The mission of the Smart Wellington program is not to create solutions and be first to market, it’s about creating successful pilots that are scalable and ultimately sustainable.

User centricity, digital deployment, and ultimately provision of effective and efficient public services are the drivers of the Smart Wellington program.
