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?
