Cities are engines for innovation and growth; by 2050 more than 70% of the global population will live in cities. Future cities will have to deliver economic development and quality of life and environment.

The 2020 strategy for City Lab Coventry (CLC) is to develop innovative solutions in six key areas: Digital Media, Low Carbon Vehicles, Integrated Transport and Logistics, Ageing Community, Low Impact Buildings and Sustainable Agriculture and Food.

City Lab Coventry includes:

• access to citizens, vehicles, buildings, roads and IT infrastructure within the city;
• a serious games studio/app lab, staffed by 30 developers providing specialist support in the creation of 3D immersive simulations and serious games, from prototype development through to full commercialisation;
• business support, working with SMEs, start-up businesses and corporate organisations;
• large scale low carbon vehicle, low impact building, digital media and assisted living trials....
