Sustainable Urban Delta

A holistic view on Smart Cities

“A smart city uses digital technologies or information andcommunication technologies (ICT) to enhance quality andperformance of urban services, to reduce costs and resourceconsumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with itscitizens”. (wikipedia)

But:

It is not just about technology – design and organization

It is not just about efficiency and better performance – new social and economic opportunities

Integration and collaboration are the keys to success
