Urban Governance: Resilient and Smart Cities

How can cities strengthen their resilience to climate change and economic crises? What role do data and technology play in enhancing smart urban systems and fostering sustainable growth? What ethical challenges arise with smart city solutions? How can cities ensure inclusivity in planning and development?

Learn more about these questions in our upcoming course on Urban Governance: Resilient and Smart Cities from June 9 to 20 2025 in The Hague.

In this course, you will:

  • Define the "blended cities" of the future and explore smart city solutions, examining how data and innovative technologies can reinforce physical interactions.
  • Discover the green city model through ecosystem services and local nature-based solutions, at the Green Village of TU Delft.
  • Learn about placemaking and public space design that promotes inclusive urban policies at the Municipality of Rotterdam.
  • Experience how the City of Amsterdam innovates the management of urban mobility and transportation systems.
  • Meet the Resilience and Urban Teams of the Municipality of the Hague to discuss their strategy for urban resilience, integrating resilience principles into governance structures.
