THE BERLIN SMART CITY DEFINITION
“Smart” means more than simply digitalizing. The city of Berlin understands the term in relation to the way challenges are addressed – creatively, openly, expediently and with participation. A city, in this case Berlin, is smart when digitalization and technology create social benefits and strengthen the democratic commonwealth.
