Beschreibung:

Smart cities are committed to sustainable and integrated urban development. Digital transformation offers cities, counties and municipalities opportunities for moving towards sustainability and promotes resource-friendly, needs-based solutions for meeting the key challenges of urban development. This Smart City Charter reflects how cities, counties and municipalities in Germany perceive their role in this transformation process. It is intended to help these stakeholders to recognise the opportunities and risks of a future-oriented and responsible urban development at an early stage and to prevent them from taking wrong turns or going down the wrong paths. The charter is also intended to promote inter-communal co-operation as well as the interlinking of high-density and rural areas in line with future-oriented urban and spatial development principles.

The Smart City Charter recognises and builds on:

• the Leipzig Charter on Sustainable European Cities,
• the National Urban Development Policy of Germany,
• the Urban Agenda for the EU (Pact of Amsterdam), and
• the New Urban Agenda of the United Nations.

The charter supports the implementation of the German Sustainable Development Strategy (Deutsche Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie) and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030.
