Address challenges with technology

More spin with no positive solutions to this crises of environmental disaster..Third runway plus Heathrow expansion is a disaster waiting to happen..Tory government will do anything to avoid their responsibilities...Its their daily business as usual corrupt / ill fated failed policies.
That is the problem...NOT the solution!!

I understand about the Charges being bought in for ULEZ charge in the congestion charge area but considering to take it out to the south and north circular, it will cripple people's jobs as low paid workers cannot afford to pay these charges,I fear there will be more people having to apply for benefits as they will have to be in the position to leave there jobs making unemployment even more.low paid workers are already struggling just to pay bills and look after there families, with no extra money or get into even more debt just to be able to work and not be able to pay for replacement vehicles and not have to pay the charge that is being considered in the future. After all it was the government that urged people to buy diesel which has been done by myself it was over £12.000 just to be able to work, I ask the mayor to consider people's future with there jobs.most vans are diesel. I agree with the charge in the city to make it a better place but outside of the city I am sure so many WORKERS feel the same.

Technology can only help if it can cap private rents so that the social cleansing of London can end. Also, it can help if it can prevent rogue landlords from renting out tiny and squalid accommodation or overcrowding properties. Standards are dropping and the city is being taken over by rich investors. This does NOT make for a pleasant city in which to live and work.

I would prefer streetmap to google maps which are little more than character maps.Google maps does not provide enough detail in a constantly changing built up area. Bring back Geographers' A - Z. Also online directions often include so many shortcuts that makes finding the side streets more time-consuming with a character map provided by the mobile network provider.

The city isn't polluted because of a lack of a lack of technology. Removing petrol and diesel cars well in advance of current schedule would be the first step - I would allow 5 years max.

After that, a city not dominated by cars would be where tech could help - self driving electric cars parked in central hubs as opposed to on the street outside homes, where they take up a huge proportion of our outside public spaces. Speed bumps could be removed and top speeds limited by the road you're on

Portable monoxide detectors to be carried by road traffic officers to check pollutant levels at every traffic stop, with commensurate powers to remove polluting vehicles immediately from use, with subsequent costs met by the user/operator.
A quality control app to raise the quality of roadway and footpath repairs/cyclical maintainence, to a universal standard, Londonwide. Too many repairs appear to fail far too quickly, the app could include photo's of the finished work, ensuring higher conttractor standards and enable better long term quality control. There are also benefits in that better controls of materials and human resources will result.

We hear right now how Facebook and companies who FB share our data with betray the confidentiality of ordinary users of social media and users of the internet in general by trading us and our data as 'meat' for online commercial and corporate predators. These 'predators' are able to access and manipulate our private data at their will. And, there's little the computer user can do about it.

I'm not sure how good this question is in the first place. We should clearly identify problems faced by Londoners, then choose specific solutions (which may be high tech or low tech!) to address that specific problem, cost-effectively. Therefore this question might be better posed multiple times, each for a different problem, rather than in such a general way.

I think something needs to be done to address the technology that’s already in place. For example, the UX interface for the new large ticket machines is terrible.

Keep it simple. Don’t over complicate things, and keep the messaging clear and precise.

Don’t make technology a hindrance.

Suggestion 1) Someone mentioned materials which absorb pollution- I have heard there are 'smart' road surface & building materials which do this. These need to be made mandatory when erecting new buildings and repairing roads. It may cost more but in the end will be cost effective.

2) Rubbish and plastic are other sources of pollution. there are bacteria which can eat them I have heard!

3) Biodegradable packaging needs to be encouraged at all levels.

4) Power generation - could there be more environmental ways of doing this at a local level?
