There are different construction models that favor the emergence of smart cities. If you want to learn, join TECH and discover the latest developments in the field"

The postgraduate certificate in TECH will be approached from a functional and business perspective, taking into account the different models currently used to build smart cities through four major blocks.

First, the importance of defining a smart city strategy model as a fundamental basis on which to implement, measure and monitor a set of actions that will enable cities to address their Smart transformation in the most efficient and sustainable way possible will be discussed. Second, different Smart City Construction Models used will be described, highlighting those based on the use of IoT devices and vertical solutions, models based on GIS technology and geospatial analysis and models based on VMS systems, where their main features, advantages and disadvantages, and some examples of practical application will be analyzed.

Once the different construction models have been conceptualized, we will advance to the model based on integration platforms, which will be the cornerstone that will allow the development and complete transformation of a smart city, and that will guarantee its interoperability with multiple systems and ensure the security of information and infrastructure.

Finally, special emphasis will be placed on how to approach, from a management and operational point of view, the transformation of cities. To this end, the optimal global model of a smart city project will be analyzed in order to boost its growth through the creation of new value-added services.

In short, TECH offers cutting-edge specialization adapted to the latest developments in this field, with an up-to-date syllabus developed by experienced professionals who are willing to make all their knowledge available to their students.
