Build-A-Smart City: From Best Practice to Next Practice

Participants on the Build-A-Smart City training course will learn concepts of a smart and livable city and work together on a case in a process towards an inclusive people-centric livable city, where people across, gender, age, and socio-cultural groupings thrive and evolve.

Participants will:

• Learn how to move from traditional Best Practices from the past and look for Next Practices to adapt to present and future challenges;
• Identify different bottlenecks in moving from present planning practices to next practices in a specific case from South East Asia;
• share own experiences and identify how and when solutions may be adopted under different conditions.
•  

The Build-A-Smart City training course will advance sustainable urban development objectives in the cities by identifying sustainable solutions for livable cities and means to implement solutions under different ecological, economic, social, and cultural conditions. Participants on our short Build-A-Smart City training course may be city planners, city officials, policymakers, and offices responsible for city service delivery and management. Other participants may be involved in developing smart cities, such as private sector service providers, academia involved in researching new approaches and ideas, and Non-governmental organizations.
