City management, planning and the creation of liveable communities are at the threshold of a new age led by the adoption of new technologies and the use of advanced data analytics to improve operations, decision making and services. But, with the fusion of the smart city concept and next-level urban design, governance models, empowerment of citizens and sustainability, the burgeoning smart cities movement is bringing more and more innovative solutions and greater opportunities directly into the hands of councils and communities.
The smart city is on the verge of realisation in Wyndham. Faced with rapid societal, environmental and technological changes, Wyndham is choosing to be proactive in designing the vision for its future and the steps to get there.
The city will be renowned for its bold and courageous leadership to transform urban transport, data-driven decision making and transparency, co-design with the community, leadership in sustainability and management of the environment and its inclusiveness, participation and community spirit.
