Smarter Cities Challenge: City of Surrey
Agenda • Opportunity • Challenge • Building on a Successful Foundation • Methodology & Approach • Observations • Recommendations • Moving Forward • Q&A
There is an opportunity for Surrey to be a leader in creating an integrated approach to supporting ECD
“Understanding and investing in early childhood development is a pressing issue across North America and around the globe. The positive long-term impacts of up-front investments are well documented, however this issue has yet to be fully addressed by any jurisdiction. Building on substantial existing investments, Surrey has the opportunity to be a model for implementing an integrated, data-driven approach to supporting early childhood development.“
Stan Litow – IBM Vice President Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs & President IBM International Foundation

We were asked to use the EDI metric as a measurement of vulnerabilities in young children
“Reducing inequality in child development will require us to bring about enduring social change...”
- Clyde Hertzman, Director, Human Early Learning Partnership
Smarter Cities Challenge: City of Surrey
Starting with the EDI as a common metric, our team used the Smarter Cities Challenge approach and methodology
