The primary outcome of the workshops is to design a mobile, interactive exhibition in the field of smart, sustainable cities of the future.
These activities’ objectives are to help students understand the importance and complexity of the smart city phenomena and the citizen-led needs these cities imply. They will learn about recent technology solutions applied to this topic and how to recognise the potential of technology trends in their development. After this project, the participants will be familiar with basic ideas and theoretical concepts regarding smart cities, and they will be able to recognise the role of Sustainability Development Goals in this area.
The on-site workshop in Warsaw continues online classes conducted with students from March 1, 2023.
