"A smart sustainable city is an innovative city that uses information and communication technologies (ICTs) and other means to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness, while ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social and environmental aspects" - ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Sustainable Cities.

DRAFT TECHNICAL REPORTS (16 Reports) of the Focus Group are available at the weblink above.

In the "Smart and Sustainable" city models that are emerging, ICT stakeholders have a major role. While facilitating development of the underlying broadband and intelligent machine to machine infrastructure, they also play pivotal role in building smart and secure applications for the other sectors, create appropriate enabling environment and provide tools for big data processing capabilities that can support fast and efficient decision making. This training aims to build skills on the required framework for SSC from an ICT perspective, the underlying components and the role of various ICT stakeholders in development of Smart Sustainable Cities.

Objective: ​To have a comprehensive understanding of Smart Sustainable Cities, underlying policies  and the role of stakeholders.
