Urban Development presents a dynamic field that is continuously in flux. It encapsulates a variety of aspects including policy-making, planning, financing and implementing projects that prepare cities and towns for the future. With over half of the global population currently inhabiting cities and urban areas, and this figure projected to rise to nearly 70% by 2050 according to the United Nations, the urgency and importance of developing effective, sustainable urban spaces have become more prevalent than ever.
Urban development is about more than merely building infrastructure. It encompasses every facet of city life including housing, transportation, education, healthcare, business, culture, and recreation. Therefore, achieving successful urban development requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes everything from architecture and urban planning to environmental science, sociology and economics.
One of the key aspects that is profoundly transforming urban development is digital technology. According to a 2018 report by Deloitte, 40% of local councils in the UK are aiming to integrate digital solutions into their urban planning and infrastructure. The application of technology solutions is vital in managing urban growth and creating smart, connected, and sustainable cities.
Features such as IoT (Internet of Things) devices, big data, predictive analytics, and bespoke software solutions can enable better decision-making, improve service delivery, and foster a more inclusive, liveable urban environment, all of which have become important elements of urban development strategies.
In this rapidly digitalising world, bespoke software, applications, and web development have become a necessity to meet the unique requirements of different stakeholders – urban residents, local authorities, businesses and urban planners alike. A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works given the diverse nature and individuality of urban environs. Technology has become a critical tool to personalise and optimise solutions, which can revolutionise the way urban issues are addressed and solutions are developed and implemented.
Our Urban Development section on the blog will provide a critical source of insights, trends, and deep-dives into the intersection of urban development and the application of bespoke digital solutions. From exploring the use of AI in congestion management, to the role of bespoke mobile apps in boosting citizen engagement in decision-making, we will delve into the contemporary issues, solutions, and future trends influencing urban life.
