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.
