Thirty borough and city UK councils are to take part in the government funded ‘Future Cities’ project, designed to establish integrated systems across cities.

The councils will receive funding of £50,000 through the Technology Strategy Board, which will be used to create a feasibility study, surrounding integrated functions surrounding infrastructure including transportation and communications.

The project is designed to improve efficiency and local economies, with the funding going to such councils as Birmingham, Belfast, Cambridge, London, Manchester, Glasgow and Sheffield.
