Thematic groups

The U4SSC actively works on a number of thematic groups, including topics surrounding city platforms, building urban economic resilience at city level, artificial intelligence in cities, enabling people-centered cities through digital transformation, digital wellbeing, future foresight for cities, sustainable digital transformation in buildings and urban energy, socio-cultural sustainability in people-centered city governance, and digital public infrastructure for cities.

The U4SSC thematic groups develop action plans, technical specifications, case studies, guidelines and offer policy guidance for cities to become smarter and more sustainable while accelerating their digital transformation.
