Digital transformation has arrived to revolutionize life in cities. Don't think twice and get trained in this booming sector that demands specialized professionals”

Today, Smart Cities 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 certificate will address smart city services, focusing on transversal solutions. Specifically, this type of infrastructure responds to a need shared by several areas of the city or that require the participation of several departments of the municipal management for its materialization, in order to solve specific challenges of the cities.

Within Smart City projects there are different types of transversal solutions, which are distributed in three large blocks: solutions that integrate information and communication elements that improve the services provided to citizens; solutions that require the integration of information sources from different areas to offer specific improvements; and solutions that make city information available to citizens.

Specifically, thanks to these types of transversal solutions, improvements can be made for the benefit of citizens, due to their accessibility, time savings and economy, among other aspects. This way, the creation of citizen cards and new projects that bring together information on internal and external city objects; tools for urban planning, mobility management and social policy optimization systems; or urban innovation laboratories, citizen portals and apps, open data portals, and data marketplaces and global operation and control centers of the city, have been achieved.
