Challenges

Smart and sustainable cities harness digital technologies and data to drive better social, environmental, and economic outcomes for citizens, businesses, and visitors. The city needs to respond to new needs in a social context that has been profoundly transformed by the Covid-19 pandemic, showing local administrators that digitization consists a unique opportunity for progress and good governance. The use of technology and data alone is not enough. If cities are to achieve their objectives, it is essential that they have an effective ecosystem framework in place.
