Le sfide
European cities face major challenges in the environmental, social, economic and political spheres that require the development of a capacity for response and planning in different and interrelated sectors. Parma as part of the European project RUGGEDISEDhttp://www.ruggedised.eu/funded by the European Commission (DG Energy), it aims to develop a smart city strategy capable of putting the various skills and initiatives into a system. To achieve this goal, in the years 2016-2021, the Municipality of Parma launched three main activities:
the development of a vision of the city, a roadmap & the development of a plan of initiatives and investments
The creation of a local organization (Smart City Governance) capable of playing a role of connection and promotion within the municipality and with local stakeholders
The development of skills and design ideas through the exchange with other European and international cities.
