CityConnect by Resilient
Future-ready city capability

Establishing city control in an inevitable future

Technological progress does not wait for policy cycles or planning updates.
New systems and services will continue to emerge in cities — with or without council involvement.

The question for councils is no longer whether new technologies will appear,
but whether they are introduced under city-defined rules or left to operate around them.

How the CityConnect pilot works

The CityConnect pilot is a supported establishment of a permanent city coordination capability. It is delivered as a structured initial engagement, providing councils with the system, training, and operational foundations needed to independently manage future technologies.

schedule

Structured establishment

A defined initial engagement that establishes the system, governance patterns, and operational readiness without requiring immediate city-wide scale.

location_on

Deliberately limited scope

Initially applied to a limited precinct or operational context to ensure the capability is established correctly before broader adoption.

Council independence

Once established, the system operates under council control. Any future expansion is optional and determined entirely by the council.

Establishing a future-ready city capability

A practical sequence for standing up an independent, interoperable city coordination function.

Weeks 1-2

Scope & align

We work with council teams to define the initial operating context, establish governance assumptions, and align on how future technologies will be coordinated within the city.

System establishment & training

CityConnect is installed in a council-controlled environment. Council staff are trained on system operation, governance patterns, and best-practice approaches to working with operators.

Weeks 4-8

Operational handover

We support councils as they apply the capability in practice, refine operating assumptions, and prepare for independent ongoing use.
