Smart Communities 

Welcome to our Movable Feast

Welcome to our OER on Smart Communities. 

We tried to gather information  critical and creative across three themes on smart communities: What is a smart community- positives and challenges, Case study examples, and mobile technology in smart communities. 

This is a great place to start your Smart Community Journey. 

Here you can learn more about what a smart city is and it's components. 

Case Studies

Here you will find two examples of cities that have gone "smart"

Pay attention to what technology they have used and what role the community plays

Mobile technology plays a crucial role in enabling smart communities by facilitating seamless connectivity, data collection, and real-time communication among residents, infrastructure, and city services
