Smart Cities today are at the forefront of digital transformation processes and, according to all technological indicators, we are only at the beginning of this journey, since, as these digital capabilities are explored, new paths and application areas are being incorporated into the smart city ecosystem.

This Postgraduate diploma will address from a functional and business perspective the different models currently used to build smart cities through four main blocks: first, the smart city strategy model as a fundamental basis on which to implement, measure and monitor a set of actions that allow cities to address their smart transformation in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. Second, the different Smart City construction models used, 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. Third, the model based on Integration Platforms, which will be the cornerstone that will allow the complete development and transformation of a smart city, as well as guarantee its interoperability with multiple systems and ensure the security of information and infrastructures. Finally, how to approach the transformation of cities from a management and operational point of view.

As it could not be otherwise, this training puts special emphasis on Smart City Platforms. The main capabilities and general architecture that a digital city platform should provide, as well as the regulatory framework and recommendations for implementation will be outlined. For this, it is important to know the enabling elements that, even if they are outside what we consider platform, are of paramount importance to achieve the integration of all the elements that can make up a smart city structure, such as communication networks and distributed computing systems, both in Cloud and Edge. We will also show the features that these platforms must have in the support layer, which is the one that will offer its services to the others (business layers) for their correct operation; among these services will be security, monitoring and user management.

The completion of this Postgraduate diploma will place engineering and architecture professionals at the forefront of the latest developments in the sector"
