As DG Cities, we have undertaken a number of exciting trials with self-driving vehicles, helping to establish the Royal Borough of Greenwich as a leading light in the smart mobility space. But SMLL is a different proposition; here we aren’t so much testing technology as creating a real-world, urban testbed for exploring all aspects of the future of mobility. A huge undertaking and one where we have brought our experience to bear as well as gaining hugely valuable insights along the way.

Situated in the heart of London, with facilities in Greenwich and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, SMLL is Europe’s most advanced urban CAM testbed, offering real-world testing and development of future mobility solutions.
We can design and deliver a live technology testbed for a local authority, helping an area position itself as an attractive hub of innovation and investment
For councils looking to establish an innovation testbed in their area, we can draw on our team’s specialist knowledge and expertise in setting up place-based living labs. As a model, the testbed offers a robust environment for validating, trialling, and learning about emerging technologies, behaviour change approaches, and engagement strategies. Beyond this, it provides a commercial solution to drive innovation and groundbreaking projects across urban technology, local government, and decarbonisation sectors, catalysing investment in local areas.
