International Smart Cities Network

The International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) promotes the integration of digital solutions into citizen-centred urban development processes and facilitates the exchange of good practices and experiences between urban practitioners worldwide.

The ISCN currently consists of the core member countries Brazil, Mexico, Peru, India and Germany. These are each involved in the network activities at national and municipal level. Through the ISCN, the partner countries have the opportunity to continuously exchange their expertise and experience in the field of Smart Cities. The continuous “learning from each other” should make it possible to jointly shape the digital transformation of cities in terms of sustainable and integrated urban development.

To consolidate partnerships within the ISCN, semi-annual network meetings are held in Germany and the ISCN partner countries. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, these are currently compensated by high-level online symposia which capture the pulse of the international smart city discourse.
