8.4 Milestones and lines of action along the path of transforming Valencia into an SSC

Valencia (Spain) contributed to establish in 2012 the Spanish Smart City Network (RECI) and, in
2014, started its own transformation project into a Smart and Sustainable City (VLCi) with the
elaboration of a first strategic formulation and the commissioning of a city platform as the backbone
of the digital and global transformation strategy.

Figure 62 shows the main milestones achieved during this time, as well as the lines of action on
which the city's strategy is articulated, which in 2022 was updated to adapt it to the new challenges.
