The agile city
other
Flexibly anticipating the future. Cities interact permanently with their environment. Both that environment and cities themselves are liable to change. This dynamic entails uncertainties, challenges, and tests of innovation that cities have to be able to adapt to. It means that cities have to be able to anticipate the events that will affect their future and deal effectively with change. That requires strength and flexibility, which serve as the basis for cities to develop their design and structure, in terms of organization and processes. A city’s smartness and capacity to learn are embedded in its people. It is therefore important that cities are inclusive. Cities have to be open and transparent in their decision-making processes. As well as anticipating, they also have to be able to act, by making strategic use of the data and information available to them
