SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024: experience ‘Tokyo 2050’ todaySponsored by The SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024 Showcase Program Executive Committee
City Debates: City of Dortmund
Since its inception in 2016, Dortmund’s smart city initiative has already ramped up significantly, particularly in 2018. The work is gaining international interest and acclaim and in September was named as a winning Digital City by the Living City Foundation.
Dortmund is showing what can be done with cross-sector and public-private collaboration, internal culture change and a focus on the citizen.
The German city also has the chance to demonstrate how smart city initiatives can be transformative for communities – not only making life easier day-to-day but also regenerating the economy of a city and reinventing its image. With preparatory work complete and a number of pilots and implementations underway, the City of Dortmund is ready to show the world what it’s got.
