2. Rapid Experimentation
A lot of time and resources can be wasted over-thinking complex city solutions. Tapp uses an agile a ‘iterative approach’ to generate as much value to clients in the least amount of time. Smart City Projects can often consume a lot of time and budgets which is why we Tapp works with clients to validate assumptions as soon as possible. Every experiment guides the client closer to the expected result (and budget).
3. Living Laboratories
Seeing is believing. Whatever the stage of the project, its never too early to test real projects with real people, in real places. Tapp helps you design urban test zones to accelerate development process. Deploying solutions into the build environment can give projects legitimacy and provide vital user feedback. The many regulatory consideration, legal headaches, and spatial constraints can often be avoided - ensure your project is ready for the real world.
4. Participatory Design
Many smart city projects fail due to public objection. Tapp projects are all designed to be citizen centric and privacy by design to ensure support and scalability. By incorporating a diverse group of stakeholders from the beginning of the project will help it avoid fallout. Participatory design processes generates awareness and support from interest groups to ensure quick adoption and market fit.
