Urban Innovation at the Front Line: March at DG Cities

March; well what can we say about the past month? 31 days where the world changed significantly, almost unrecognisably, and where we all started to adjust to a new, temporary “normal”.

This global pandemic has bought into sharper focus than ever before the value that technology can play in society: keeping us connected and the world turning.

Taking learnings from innovation projects into the real world

Here at DG Cites our mission is to find practical ways to transform our cities, making them more efficient, and ultimately, more pleasant places to live and work.
