Project Management for Smart City and Urban Development Initiatives

Smart city projects blend physical infrastructure, digital systems and public services, which makes them harder to scope and govern than single sector projects. This course covers how to plan and integrate urban initiatives that span technology, infrastructure and community outcomes. It draws on African city modernisation and urban development programmes.
