‘Scotland’s 8th City – the Smart City’ ERDF Programme.

SCOTTISH SMART CITIES ALLIANCE

In recent years Scotland’s cities have jointly developed an ambitious programme of data and digital technology projects via the ‘Scotland’s 8th City – the Smart City’ ERDF Programme.

Glasgow City Council is acting as the Lead Partner for the Programme. The 8th City Programme Management Office is based within the Council

The 8th City Programme seeks to enhance Smart City activity to accelerate and transform the delivery of city services and make Scotland’s cities more attractive, liveable and resilient.

Through the Scottish Cities Alliance, the total invested so far in this project is £48 million, including European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) support of more than £20 million and Cities Investment Fund (administered by Scottish Cities Alliance) of £500,000.
