Our Smart Brum is BACK for the last event before the summer. We are throwing a spanner in the works and starting a debate. With the clean air charge, the rise in EV and impending transition to becoming a Smart City by 2030….
Can technology help to combat air pollution in Birmingham? If so, where do we start?
We will be covering the topics that become heated around the Birmingham water coolers (or Teams waiting rooms):
? The Birmingham Clean Air Charge
? Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs)

Do we need Tech to make these things suitable for EVERYONE?
