How do we make sure innovations really benefit people?

DG Cities is a multidisciplinary team working to ensure that new services and technologies can make a real difference to people’s lives and to the places they live and work.

We provide wide-ranging expertise in technology, behaviour change, emerging trends, policy and its application. Whether we’re developing a strategy for electric vehicle charging in the countryside, tackling digital exclusion in a city or evaluating results from the UK’s first public trial of autonomous vehicles, we put people first to make sure any innovation is sustainable, accessible - and most importantly, useful.
