Knowledge Management in Smart Cities for Sustainable Innovation Training Course
Introduction
As cities evolve into smart, technology-driven ecosystems, the role of knowledge management (KM) has become critical for enhancing governance, efficiency, and citizen engagement. Smart cities generate vast amounts of data, and effective KM ensures that this data is transformed into actionable knowledge that supports urban planning, sustainable development, and innovation. Integrating KM into smart city initiatives enables better decision-making, fosters collaboration among stakeholders, and enhances service delivery.
This training course provides participants with the skills and strategies needed to design, implement, and optimize KM practices in the context of smart cities. It explores how digital technologies, data-driven governance, and collaborative platforms can be harnessed to build knowledge-enabled urban environments. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to lead initiatives that use KM to drive sustainable growth, inclusivity, and resilience in smart cities.
