The Smart Christchurch Programme is a unit committed to collaboratively redefining Ōtautahi as a place of opportunity. In support of the Local Government’s goals for the city, we act through trialling and co-creating solutions to test innovative approaches that help make our city a smarter, safer place to live, work and play. Being a ‘smart city’ brings many benefits, such as better planning and decision-making, attracting international talent to the city, and driving new business opportunities. Smart Christchurch's vision is to promote Christchurch as an exemplar open and connected city, showcasing solutions that make life better and are replicated by others.
