Smart Cities increasing the attractiveness of your city
Smart cities are everywhere. It is inspiring, but at the same time navigating in the rich scene of smart cities may be difficult.
We at Future Place Leadership work with how smart cities can be connected to the attractiveness of cities and regions. How to organise and manage that interplay between strategies, visions and organisations from various sectors. How to exercise place leadership.
How do smart cities work and how do they increase the attractiveness of a city? How to engage the community, co-create the ways technical solutions are applied and contribute to building a better urban environment? How to avoid a culture of sameness when everybody are claiming to be smart?
