The other stages of the Rome Smart City Project roadmap

The path-event of confrontation-action, which aims to thus support the launch of the initiatives that make it up the Agenda for “Roma SMART ,

it was presented on September 21 during the demonstration Festambiente – Possible Worlds and will be articulated in the Roman territory, over the course of the next few months, on more stages, touching on some of the most significant realities for the implementation of theRome SMART Agenda. Each stage (apart from the final stage, which will also deal with the strategic theme of the entire Agenda and the plan proposal), will focus on one of the four axes identified in the Agenda and will take place in the most emblematic places to move from discussion to action and to discuss ongoing experiences.

In particular, after the stage of 23 November dedicated to participatory and collaborative city, successive stages dedicated to the connective and creative city (January - to be confirmed)– hosted by Millepiani- to relaunch coworking experiences (http://www.millepiani.eu/millepiani-team/), at the sustainable and resilient city  (March - to be confirmed), at open and transparent city, a strategy for Rome Smart City (May - to be confirmed).

The final stage will therefore also be an opportunity for discussion with the Municipality of Rome to sum up the contributions, ideas and results of the path-event towards the implementation of the SMART Agenda for Rome.

During the process, initiatives to promote contributions to the Agenda for Rome SMART will be launched (e.g. school competitions, competitions for project ideas), and an online participation platform will be activated.

The path will also be enriched over time with intermediate appointments and meetings to better focus on possible initiatives and to share, enhance and integrate ongoing experiences. All are invited to make proposals in this sense.
