In a cost of living crisis and a potential recession, ensuring access to high speed digital connectivity is paramount. It ensures residents’ access to education and economic opportunity and helps local businesses to thrive. London’s boroughs and local government across the UK, have the power to drive improvements in connectivity that create better places to live, work and visit.
In Summer 2022, BAI spoke to lead practitioners within five boroughs – Westminster, Lewisham, Newham, Hounslow and Tower Hamlets – to find out how connectivity challenges are being addressed, as well as where the biggest opportunities are for improving connectivity and innovation to improve services for residents and businesses. This guide summarises the insight and findings of the full research report, “Hyperconnected London – How can London boroughs enable digital connectivity for today’s challenges”.
The steps proposed in this guide aim to highlight best practices and identify potential opportunities for London boroughs to ensure inclusive connectivity.
