Who is the survey aimed at?
This survey is aimed at individuals working in local government or place-based organisations who are responsible for the design, procurement and management of the UK’s connected places.
Such organisations may include:
- Regional and local authorities in the UK
- Transport authorities and operators (for example: rail, aviation, ports/maritime, roads and bus operators)
- Health and social care providers
- Smart utilities providers (for example: waste, water)
- Property and building management companies
- Universities / smart campuses
- Sports and cultural venues
A range of individuals may be involved in the design, build and operation of connected places within your organisation. You may therefore submit a single (coordinated) response on behalf of your organisation; or a response on behalf of your specific department/function, as appropriate. The survey asks you which of these is the case.
The following is intended to be a non-exhaustive illustration of the types of individuals that we would welcome responses from:
- Connected places (or smart city) or innovation project and strategy leads and officials
- Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs)
- Head of IT departments / relevant IT personnel
- Cyber security architects and engineers
- Commercial and procurement leads and officials
- All other personnel involved in running the day-to-day operations of connected places infrastructure.
