Cities constitute a new paradigm in the 21st century, facing great challenges of humanity such as overpopulation of cities, important technological transformations and greater citizen accessibility to all services. This postgraduate certificate addresses the future challenges that cities will gradually face in digital transformation, not only technologically, but also in terms of governance, security, sustainability and alignment with the 2030 Agenda, from a medium- to long-term vision.

This way, the paradigm of the governance model of data and information generated and exchanged in cities will be addressed. On the other hand, the student will study the concept of the city platform as a sum of different sectorial platforms. This will make it possible to generate an extensive catalog of value-added use cases that respond to the efficiency of sectoral services and solve global city problems and challenges from a holistic perspective.

The use of technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality that, on the one hand, allow the development of new urban management services and, on the other hand, offer new disruptive channels of relationship and interaction with citizens will be another of the fundamental sections of this course. Finally, special emphasis will also be placed on the new paradigm of city modeling through digital twins that allow for the improvement, redesign and creation of new, more efficient and sustainable city models aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals through the adaptation of all its processes, services and infrastructures.
