GOALS

 

1. To clarify the context and importance of smart cities at the global, European and national levels, as well as for Wallonia;
2. To explain how technology (especially digital technology) can aid the sustainable transformation of our towns and cities;
3. To supply an introduction to the strategic design of smart cities.

All the while, participants will develop their management skills and discover tools that will enable them to enact change within their own professional bodies.

As well as theory sessions to present the various concepts, this training course, which is intended to be hands-on, also includes presentations of best practices, workshops, practical exercises and case studies.
