City populations are increasing day by day in our country and in the world. As a result of this increase, cities have to cope with new needs in many areas such as infrastructure, affordable housing, water, environmental cleaning, health services, transportation and security.
The concept of “Smart City” comes to fore in responding to these needs and also creating opportunities for urban development.
The smart city will create gains in the aspects of sustainable development, competitiveness and environmental sustainability with its ability to transform the information it offers into a social benefit. In addition, it will increase the quality of life, contribute to economic development, and serve to prepare cities to reflect our perspective of history and civilization.
It is important for all public institutions, local governments, universities, private sector and non-governmental organizations to act in colabrotion in order to plan and direct smart city studies on a national scale.
For this reason, the 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan, which is built with the common mind of ecosystem stakeholders, takes into account national needs and priorities holistically have been prepared in order to gain the ability to work together by bringing a holistic view to smart city policies at the national level in our country, to prioritize investments in line with the determined policies, to ensure that the investments are implemented with the right projects and activities. In addition, it was published in the Official Gazette dated 24 December 2019 and numbered 30988 and entered into force with the 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan Circular No. 2019/29.
In line with this; The “Smart Cities Capacity Building and Guidance Project” was implemented by our Ministry in order to contribute to the realization of the actions, duties and responsibilities defined within the scope of the 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan on a national scale and to increase the capacity of all stakeholders, especially our local governments.
The works carried out within the scope of the project are realized under the following 8 headings.
Training videos, training presentations and training booklets will be prepared on the following subjects in order to realize the smart city components determined in the National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan to be used in online and offline education activities with 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan guidance studies. In addition, 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan guidance studies will be conducted for central institutions, organizations and local governments.
