"Successful outcomes from projects delivered in support of the above will inform businesses cases for the wider deployment across the metropolitan area in Leeds and beyond. "Alongside Ingenuity, the rest of [White Rose Park] will be used as a "living lab" or "mini Smart City" where new technology, products and innovative ways of working can be deployed, tested and piloted in a controlled environment, contributing to addressing the Smart Leeds’s main priorities, as well as social inclusion."
Public consultation on the plans is open from December 11 until January 17.
