Internet of Things as a policy instrument for the city change. It encourages the creation of a network of European partners committed to the design of digitalization plans based on Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to increase the quality of life in small and medium sized EU cities. URBACT methodology based on transnational cooperation between cities and engagement of local groups offer to our network of 9 cities the conditions to each develop an Integrated Action Plan that will guide us through a new age of digital transformation.

  • “Experience is the best teacher”

    Experience is the best teacher” – learning through Case Studies about methods to use technology and innovative business models to improve Urban Development in small cities

    By Eurico Neves, Lead Expert of the ‘IoTXchange’ URBACT APN project, CEO of INOVA+ S.A.

    It is commonly accepted that ‘Experience is the best teacher ‘. However, this experience doesn’t have to be undergone personally, and can be learnt through the lessons and achievements of others as well. That’s the whole purpose of Case Studies, and that’s how they have been used within the context of the IoTXchange Action Planning Network (APN) of the URBACT programme.
