Smart Community Winners: Why Maturity Eats Activity for Breakfast

Our April Webinar, was hosted by Brook Dixon, Managing Director at Delos Delta, former ASCA President, and long-term ASCA member.


Brook has spent more than a decade studying, visiting, designing, operating, and evaluating smart cities and communities around the globe.


Brook's observation: smart city leaders and winners invest in ‘maturity’, building holistic organisational and eco-system capacity and capability to ensure activity and impact over the long-term. 

The webinar included discussions surrounding: 
- What is this ‘maturity’ you speak of? 
- How does one measure and compare smart community maturity? 
- What are the ‘lessons in maturity’, when considering recognised leaders such as Copenhagen, Barcelona, Sunshine Coast, and Greater Geelong?   
- How does maturity work to attract investment, create partnerships, and sustain projects?   
- Cautionary tales: what are the risks of ignoring smart community maturity?
