Description
Smart cities & regions are innovative, forward-looking, interlinked municipalities, cities and city regions which are designed around people and focused on respect for the environment. They are characterised by a high quality of life and an efficient use of resources.
They achieve this by creating intelligent links between their infrastructure and modern technology and by involving the relevant actors. The concepts on which they are based pay due heed to societal, economic and environmental considerations.
Thanks to its interdisciplinary expertise, the ZHAW is ideally qualified to act as a scientific partner in the development of smart cities & regions, be it through applied research and development work, services, training and continuing education courses, or events.
