5 video capsules to guide your reflection

Through 5 short videos, the Smart City Institute team proposes you: 
  • to (re)discover the key phases and essential steps in the development of a Smart City strategy, 
  • but also to (re)clarify the concept of Smart City itself : 

An iterative process in 15 key steps 

The 4 main phases that we advise you to address through this series of videos (prerequisites, strategic planning, implementation, monitoring) are based on the methodology developed in our 1st Smart City Practical Handbook.
 
Based on a process comprising 4 phases divided into 15 key steps to consider and/or carry out, this methodology will help you to enrich your reflection, to better position yourself and to ask yourself the right questions for a more methodical, fluid and structured transition.
