Digital High Streets - Connected Services for people and place

During this workshop, we considered the future of connected services in high streets and town centres to inform a debate around the benefits of developing a digital blueprint to guide the implementation and delivery of the telecommunication provision.

Connected services encompass all products and experiences that rely on digital connectivity, from loading real-time travel information in an app to facilitating pop-up shops with an online tenancy agreement. The workshop touched on a plethora of high-street related themes, such as mobility, real estate, retail, social equity, and placemaking (to name a few), in order to collectively identify the areas that present the greatest opportunities for digital enablement.
