CityVerve is Manchester's £15 million smart city project that aims to demonstrate the benefits of connecting everyday objects through IoT. Led by Manchester City Council, it involves 21 organizations working together to transform the city. Central to CityVerve is BT's data hub, which will aggregate data from various sources and make it available to developers and applications via an interoperability standard called Hypercat. The project aims to provide a replicable, sustainable, and scalable model for other cities to implement smart city solutions around transport, healthcare, energy, and the environment.
