  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Main Takeaways

  • Governance plays a key role in balancing sustainable development’s social, economic, and environmental dimensions.
  • The list of governance barriers includes the lack of strategic planning, lack of vision, lack of communication, and lack of competence and leadership to run smart developments effectively.
  • Several key governance conditions for developing strategies for smart, sustainable city initiatives are proposed: urban planning, adaptive governance, leadership behavior, citizen empowerment, stakeholders’ engagement, sustainable planning and management, data governance, institutional frameworks, open government, digital skills, and others.
