Fascinating new report from the @BritishCouncil which explores the role of #universities in shaping #smartcities and draws upon our https://t.co/jGdvn0jc8o toolkit to do so. Well worth a read https://t.co/33wVU4qqW3

It's been a blast, but the @SCiM_MK project is drawing to a close. Funded by @ESRC with researchers from @OU_FASS at @OpenUniversity and @oxfordgeography @UniofOxford. To find out what we've been up to these past two years, check out our project report https://t.co/3ggKmBUSp3

One of @nesta_uk's top ten predictions is that 2019 will see a race to use AI and Big Data to understand and empower cities and citizens. I agree, that's why we founded and raised money for @TheDataCity earlier this year. 💪🌁🌃🌆🌇🏙️🧠 https://t.co/3wr92hOoCX

[SCiM_MK @SCiM_MK]
