Smart City Perth ‘Developing a global city with a social conscience’ 

Smart City Perth acknowledges that the term Smart City is relatively new and we are yet to understand the effects on a society that is increasingly relying on technology. To collect data for the benefit of managing assets and resources has always played a great roll in the modern city life. Developing a Smart City with a Social Conscience determines to enhance the life of a city’s citizens.  

The City of Perth has an opportunity to develop into one of the finest global cities if we develop and back strong leaders that are led by ethics and diversity. There is an increased frustration with local and state government as bureaucracy gets cluttered with the barrage of data, codes and regulations.

Giving a Smart City a soul will attract world class opportunity and will get the best out of data. It will transform current codes and regulations to open up the investment from the four corners of the world. It will also unlock the constant frustration of bureaucracy and allow public servants the ability to administrate with greater ease. 

Perth has the opportunity to become the gateway to Australia with Asia on our doorstep. Developing a Global Smart City will net billions of dollars from a wide range of services into our local economy, fostering sustainability we all seek. 

It must be an initiative of the people with government support and not the other way around. 

An ancient king observed an anomaly under the sun – Why are the servants on horses and the Kings walking? 

The future of our city and state must be led by those that can create opportunities and serviced by those that are the administrators not the other way around.
