Project Management for Smart City and Urban Development Initiatives

Smart city projects blend physical infrastructure, digital systems and public services, which makes them harder to scope and govern than single sector projects. This course covers how to plan and integrate urban initiatives that span technology, infrastructure and community outcomes. It draws on African city modernisation and urban development programmes.

What you will be able to do

  • Scope smart city initiatives across infrastructure, digital and service layers.
  • Integrate multiple projects into a coherent urban programme.
  • Coordinate city authorities, utilities, vendors and communities.
  • Manage data, connectivity and technology within urban projects.
  • Plan for adoption and benefit to residents and city operations.
  • Govern and report on complex multi stakeholder urban programmes.
