London's population has grown to 8.6 million people, the highest since 1939, requiring significant investment in infrastructure such as housing, schools, and transport. The London Datastore makes city data available to support businesses and engages the public about smart cities. The Infrastructure Mapping Application coordinates infrastructure planning and investment decisions. The Tech Londoners program partners entrepreneurs with Londoners to solve city issues using technology, such as helping people manage chronic conditions. City Hall also works with Spacehive to crowdfund and support local ideas that give residents more input into the city's development.

engage through regular blogs about
Smart Cities, city modelling and data
science

6. INFRASTRUCTURE MAPPING APPLICATION
The Infrastructure Mapping Application
(IMA LDN) is the first tool to aid
increased coordination amongst actors
involved in planning and delivering
infrastructure across London and to
provide comprehensive information for
better medium and long term
investment decisions.

7. TECH LONDONERS
Tech Londoners invites entrepreneurs to
work alongside Londoners to help solve
some of the city’s most pressing issues by
using digital technology.
Working with CityMart, the first challenge
invite groups of Londoners to test new
products and services which support people
with chronic conditions to better manage their
care.

8. Ideas for London
City Hall have been working with the
crowdfunding website, Spacehive, to look at
how the Mayor’s influence could kickstart a
new way of supporting local ideas and
potential funding as well as giving local
people more input into the way London
develops.
