During the past months, the City of Leipzig has made a stronger effort to build up and intensify networks with local and national partners to foster Smart City processes in the city \u2013 comprising events to work on the future of the Smart City Leipzig, a lecture series on Smart City topics and participation in the DELL Smart Cities Roundtable.<\/p>\n
\u201cZukunftsforum\u201d is an established event where city leaders and CEOs of local utilities come together to discuss future strategies for Leipzig. With the 6th meeting taking place on 13 March 2017, it was time to leave theoretical aspects behind and to focus on more practical actions. The participants came to the conclusion that, after working on a joint definition and more strategic aspects for Smart City Leipzig, the focus should now be shifted to concrete actions. Therefore, the next meeting in May 2017 will focus on Smart Mobility in the context of the growing city Leipzig.<\/p>\n
Besides that, the local Triangulum team works closely together with other partners to engage citizens, science institutions and other stakeholders in Smart City topics. Together with the Institute of Urban Development and Construction Management of Leipzig University, the evening lecture series \u201cHOT SPOTS :: DER STADTENTWICKLUNG\u201d is being continued during the summer semester at Leipzig University, focusing on digitization and urban development. The topics of the lectures will range from the digitization processes in Munich over cross-media citizen communication to digital-analogue inclusion.<\/p>\n
