“Cities from around the world are benefitting from new ways to capture, analyse and process data.  Valuable real-world applications range from intelligent routing of vehicles and the design of energy efficient communities to optimising the provision of health and social care services.

This is a key priority for the city as Leeds aims to maintain its position at the forefront of the Smart Cities revolution.  We are recognised as a Pioneer in our approach to health and social care, and we lead the field in developing a single integrated social care record.  LIDA provides a unique opportunity for the city to bring together existing expertise and data from across a range of organisations to solve real problems for people and communities.”

Cllr James Lewis, Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Strategy and Resources, Leeds City Council (June 2015)
