About
City leaders need new ways of thinking about planning, designing & building our cities - putting the citizen & liveability at the heart of all future projects, developments & transformations.
Every city or municipality is different, with different challenges and a different culture - for cities to become really smart they must embrace their unique context. Technology is an enabler, not the solution, the people must come first.
The Future is Now
Technology offers an opportunity to change our cities for the better. Bringing citizens, politicians & city halls together to co-create outside of the box solutions to some of our biggest challenges.

What's #NSC2020 all about?
NSC2020 IS RESCHEDULED
Due to the current COVID 19 outbreak having reached "pandemic potential" according to the World Health Organisation, the Nordic Smart Cities Conference scheduled for 19 March 2020 in Copenhagen will be rescheduled for 3 September 2020.
Inspiring Speakers
What questions must you ask when starting a smart city project? How can you create a culture of innovation that encourages innovation, failure & citizen participation?
Nordic Smart Cities 2020 will address the big questions that city leaders face when they are planning their city of the future - governance, digitalisation, citizen happiness, climate change, health, liveability & more.
Our speakers do not promise to have all of the answers, but through knowledge sharing, networking & collaboration the vision of tomorrow can become a reality.
