The Smart+Connected Communities Institute launched a year ago to the public to foster new thinking and collaborate about the needs of sustainable urban development.

 

Together with our members and partners we have made some great accomplishments.

 

 

 

Looking Forward...

 

Recently, I launched a survey to engage the members on content needs, collaboration styles for this audience and how we can drive this community to the next level.  We will continue to enhance the content and site usability as well as work on the collaboration. The survey is providing great insight to the collaboration experience and styles of this diverse audience.

 

Through the survey and conversations with the community members, there seems to be three hot content topics- city examples, financing models and policy.  In response, we are in the process of creating a global city E-book that will capture city examples and implementation details.

 

Help me help you. Please contact me directly with your ideas, jillkeefer@smartconnectedcommunities.org or comment directly to this blog post.

 

If you haven't noticed, there are some great resources in the community. We have a diverse audience segment who can be resources for your upcoming projects. If you have a question, let me know, and I will help connect you to the right people in the community.  Here are some highlights of what is to come but stay connected for details.

 

  • Adding Partners
  • Creation of Special Interest Groups- community members and partners
  • Providing Education and Training courses
  • Creation of the City/ICT E-Book
  • Providing Live Streaming of Major Events

 

Cheers to another good year!

Let me introduce the new discussion forum aggregator on the site.  (Applause)  We completed a series of qualitative research with a group of Smart+Connected Communities Institute community members. Many community members asked for a better way to navigate the discussion forums, which were in 10 different sections on the site.  The community members wear different hats on projects so they may be interested in several sections- Transportation, Education and Buildings. The aggregator’s purpose is to make it easier for you to come to the site and review the most recent posts.  Now the discussion forum threads bubble up to one page, for a quick scan. Take a look at the aggregator. Let us know what you think!

Now what are your content and project needs? Share with me what you would like to learn. What are your city sustainability projects?  Economic development? Sustainable urban development? Infrastructure? Do you need learnings or best practices for information and communication technology? Do you need to connect to subject matter experts or your peers? Do you need information on alternative funding sources?  Tell me what is new in your job with sustainable development, and I will  find content and information for you.

 

We have 62 countries and 199 cities represented on the site. We can help you connect to other cities working on similar projects or experts in the industry.
