This advanced course provides an overview of Smart City Delivery Office which plays a critical role in bridging the gap between the upstream strategic policies and the downstream on-ground implementation. Its approach is based on Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Participants in this training will gain the knowledge and skills to translate smart city policies into actionable plans that align with national, regional, and local urban development objectives. The course emphasizes comprehensive program planning by addressing both soft aspects, such as action plan development, data management, talent development, and innovation hubs, and hard aspects, including project readiness, ecosystem development, and smart solution implementation.
A significant focus is placed on financial strategies, including sustainable funding models, procurement processes, and financial projections to ensure the economic viability of smart city projects. Participants will explore ways to monetize smart city initiatives, creating revenue streams for councils while maintaining alignment with urban sustainability goals. Through integrated program and project management, participants will gain expertise in performance monitoring, stakeholder coordination, and ensuring that smart city initiatives are scalable and impactful. By the end of the training, participants will be well-equipped to lead or support the establishment of a Smart City Delivery Office, ensuring seamless execution, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth of smart city programs.
