City of Melbourne's strategic ambition is to harness the power of emerging technologies to set the standard as an innovative, liveable and intuitive capital city.
Their smart city practice began in 2006 with pedestrian counting and soil moisture sensors. Over the years, this practice has expanded into a comprehensive network of thousands of sensors supported by teams across the organisation.
Through the Emerging Technology Testbed, City of Melbourne partners with community and industry to explore the function of new and emerging technologies. Pilots and public innovation challenges explore impacts and opportunities for the city and our community.
Their program boasts award-winning initiatives including Data in the Park and City Sensing Data Futures.
