The International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) continuously produces a variety of knowledge and transfer offers for its network to stay up-to-date in the dynamic field of smart city developments and spatial digitalisation.

Model Projects Smart Cities (MPSC) are the central players in the federal funding programme. They test model measures and communicate the values of integrated urban development in line with the Smart City Charter and implement and anchor their strategies and measures sustainably. Model Projects Smart Cities utilise the services of the Coordination and Transfer Office Model Projects Smart Cities (KTS) and help other municipalities by sharing their gained knowledge.

Smart Cities initiatives often deal with similar topics and questions. To avoid having to reinvent the wheel again and again, helpful knowledge is collected here in the form of studies, measures, podcasts, video recordings, guidelines and much more. Do you have knowledge you would like to share, questions or feedback on the knowledge repository? Then please contact kts-wissens-vernetzung@iqib.de

The 73 federally funded Model Projects Smart Cities are experimental sites for integrated urban development. The aim of the programme is to enable municipalities in Germany to explore a variety of practical solutions in order to drive forward smart city development in Germany nationwide.

Inspiration and motivation for municipalities on their way to becoming smart cities: With the Start Smart format, the Coordination and Transfer Office Model Projects Smart Cities (KTS) offers a comprehensive, specially created advisory, exchange and information service for non-funded municipalities.

A network thrives on the interaction and exchange of its members. When it "pulsates", new growth emerges at the knowledge and practice level - especially in such a transformational field as smart cities. The International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) has therefore set up several different exchange formats for its participants.

The research of the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) forms the scientific framework for the work of the National Dialogue Platform Smart Cities and the Model Projects Smart Cities (MPSC). The BBSR also manages the research activities of the Coordination and Transfer Office Model Projects Smart Cities (KTS).

Smart cities thrive on cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and experience: through diverse, interactive formats or events, research reports, community platforms, databases or other publications. Latest news and stories about smart cities or their services and knowledge products are collected in the knowledge databases of the Smart City Dialogue.
