In this episode of the ISCN Smart City Dialogue Podcast we talk with Konrad Traupe and Philipp Wilimzig about something that brings the Smart City into our hands on a daily basis: The Smart Village App as one example of a smartphone app with which municipalities can address their citizens through a most common interface.

We cover questions about the features of the Smart Village App, how it managed to already scale to 50+ municipalities in Germany, what it would take for it to make a larger geographical leap, what to expect from smart city smartphone apps in the future, and much more.
