Connective Cities invites municipal practitioners to the Dialogue Event on Strategies for a Digital City – Challenges and Opportunities, to be held in Nuremberg, Germany from 23^rd to 25^th October 2018.

The event is geared towards both German and international municipal actors working on digitalising their cities and the municipalities’ services. Digitalisation is a cross-cutting trend in today’s societies and an important new task for municipalities. Cities need to take an active role in digitalising public services and to make sure that the digitalisation on local level strengthens the participation in urban life for all. Therefore having a solid strategic approach to digitalisation allows cities to avoid becoming simply a subject of digital trends.

The Connective Cities dialogue event in Nuremberg will focus on three specific aspects:

• Developing a strategic approach to the digitalisation of the city as a municipality’s responsibility
• Digitalising integrated sustainable mobility
• Digitalisation of municipal services

All participants are expected to present their experiences, examples of good practices in their municipality, concrete challenges and needs they face. Connective Cities hereby offers an international peer learning format and a creative workshop environment for planning concrete local action.

Connective Cities is organising the event in close collaboration with the City of Nuremberg, which is currently developing its new digital strategy and plans to share its own experiences on this topic.
