The ADEPT* SMART Places Live Labs Programme is a two-year, £22.9m project funded by the Department for Transport that will run until Spring 2021. The advances made in digital technology have transformed how we live and work and will continue to have far-reaching impacts for some time to come. As an ADEPT member, TfWM is at the forefront of this rapid change: supporting communities, business and innovation in the West Midlands. Our Live Lab pilot project was awarded £2.65 million in 2019.
*ADEPT is the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning & Transport. It leads as the voice of ‘Place’ Directors in upper tier local authorities across England.
