Smart Sustainable Cities – a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office initiative – bringing together selected European and UK cities to showcase best practice and provide a two-way opportunity for knowledge sharing and networking.
The invitation-only two 2-day workshops provide an unrivalled opportunity to forge strong city-to-city connections, focused on implementable smart and sustainable solutions, offering an ongoing platform for exchange of innovation, knowledge and experience.
It was a fabulous opportunity to engage with other individuals and cities who are all working to the same agenda.
