Public Funding for Dundee City Council Nominees Limited

‘Pick&Mix’ will be a mobility service for 16-25 year olds created by young people, for young people. It will be designed by a team of volunteers selected from the 620,000 members of Young Scot (the Scottish youth information & citizenship charity) in collaboration with designers, user experience experts, technology services companies, behavioural experts and the public sector. Pick&Mix will reduce the need or desire for car ownership. Imagine a 19 year old using the Pick&Mix app, ‘Mobility Insight Tool’ or webchat and being shown how integrated options (e.g. car club + bus + walk) are perfect for his lifestyle. His Young Scot card becomes his bus pass, car club token and reward card. Multi-modal, end-to-end journeys will thus be enabled and enhanced within this 24-month project. The design and functions of the service will be guided by the young participants to ensure it fits with the true needs of users. The project has the potential for a strong commercial return and options will be developed to deliver a sustainable business model. The project will model the potential impacts of the service and explore the opportunities for creating similar services targeted at alternative user segments.

Dundee: A Smart Future will deliver a comprehensive feasibility study that focuses on the potential to develop and utilise a wide range of integrated city systems to support the growth of the city's economy, creating jobs and providing opportunities for local people. The project has 3 key actions: 1. Waterfront Regeneration: enhance existing investment in the regeneration of Dundee's waterfront using the available funding to build in the technologies required to help reduce energy consumption and make the sites attractive to investors through the inclusion of high-tech solutions to energy, ICT, 2. Make information on the city accesible to all using technology and interactive systems so that it can be used to support the development of new services and address need. 3. Engage companies that are creating innovative new products & provide them with the opportunity to test those products & services through engaging with local people & on site in test environments.
