Digitisation has found its way into almost every aspect of life. Terms such as big data, Industry 4.0, Work 4.0 and Smart Cities outline that development. In some cases, regionally significant effects are already apparent, but much remains as yet unclear. Will digitisation lead to greater resource efficiency? Will more sustainable forms of production become possible? What will daily life be like in the future and what skills will we need?

The BMUB established the dialogue platform Smart Cities to address such questions and identify the potential and risks of digitisation on an urban level. 70 representatives from cities, municipalities, communities, various federal departments and municipal associations, as well as scientific, economic and civil organisations attended. The urban development departments of the federal states were also invited. The dialogue process was held at five one-day events, resulting in the Smart City Charter. It defines guidelines and recommended measures on the road towards Smart Cities.



This publication contains German and English versions of the Smart City Charter developed by the Smart Cities dialogue platform. The documentation of the dialogue process was published with the ISBN number 978-3-87994-203-9 (in German, only).
