Cities are breeding grounds for innovation and opportunity, but they also face major challenges such as rapid urbanization, climate change and inequality. How can smart cities tackle these challenges and become more resilient? And what role will people play in the design and planning of our smart cities?

This free online course will help you find your own way through the complex landscape of smart cities. You'll hear from smart city innovators and entrepreneurs, city leaders, communities and businesses, and connect with students from around the world to think about issues facing smart cities of different sizes and situations.

You investigate what it is like to live in a smart city, the role of systems thinking, living labs, open data, crowdsourcing and roadmaps. You'll debate privacy, ethics, and security challenges, and weigh the value of leadership, norms, and benchmarks. You will learn how to co-create a smart city project where you live.
