"Thank you" to everyone who participated in the Smart+Connected  Communities Institute Member Engagement Survey.  We received some great  feedback about the content you find valuable and what additional  resources we can provide.

 

Highlights

 

  • Organization of Content
  • Types of Content: More case studies, city examples and white papers focused on economic, environmental and social sustainability, information and communication technology
  • Majority of members visit the site often in a 3 month period
  • This audience sees the most value with this online community in learning and getting materials/information

 

We Are Listening

 

  • Content: We constructed a new section of the site called Resources. Check out the new Resource section that includes collections of white papers, case studies, presentations, videos and more. This will be a one-stop shop for you to access the content in the format of your choice.
  • City Examples: We are in the process of putting together a city/ICT E-Book with many global examples of how cities are using technology to be more sustainable. Look for this release next month!  We will also host upcoming webinars with city examples.
  • Live Case Studies: In addition to city examples, we plan to launch city live case studies on the site so people can see the partner network and the implementation in process.
  • Participation: Please send me your case studies, white papers, presentations to add to the Resource section. Also, I am looking for bloggers. We have added some great new bloggers to the site and we would like the idea sharing and innovation to continue. Contact me to blog!

 

 

Congratulations to the three community member prize winners.  I will contact you via private message to capture your contact information where I can send your gift card.

 

As always, even though the survey is closed now, please send your suggestions to me.

To continue the collaboration, the S+CC Institute is working to bring you more resources.  We conducted a community member survey in the past couple of months, and we listened to your needs.

 

City and Information and Communication Technology E-Book

Based on the community members' request, the Smart+Connected Communities Institute is producing an E-Book capturing examples of how global cities are using ICT to improve sustainability.  Look for this E-Book made available on the S+CC Institute website in September.

 

New Bloggers

We will be introducing new bloggers to the S+CC Institute website.  We encourage you to comment on their posts and provide information from your experiences. If you are interested in blogging, email Community Manager Jill Keefer.

 

City Leader Webinars

Again, you asked for more city examples, we will be inviting city leaders to present at virtual webinars to share best practices about environmentally, socially and economically sustainable cities.

 

New Resource Section

We are working on a new resource section that will provide Case Studies, White Papers, Presentations, Podcasts, Videos and more all in one easily accessible place on the website.  We encourage you to upload any of these types of materials also to the site to add to the wealth of information.
