Formation et voyage d'étude sur les villes intelligentes et la transformation urbaine à Barcelone

Présentation du programme

Smart Cities and Urban Transformation have become central priorities for governments and urban authorities as cities expand rapidly across the globe. Today, around 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and this figure is expected to reach 68% by 2050. At the same time, cities account for a significant share of global energy consumption and face increasing pressure to provide reliable infrastructure, sustainable mobility, efficient public services, climate resilience, and a high quality of life.

For many cities, particularly in developing and emerging economies, rapid urbanization is creating significant challenges related to energy supply, transportation, waste management, public safety, environmental sustainability, and access to essential services. Smart city approaches provide governments with new opportunities to address these challenges through integrated planning, digital technologies, data-driven decision-making, and citizen-centered service delivery.

The Smart Cities and Urban Transformation Training and Study Tour in Barcelona has been exclusively developed by Risalat Consultants International to equip public officials and urban professionals with the knowledge and practical tools required to plan and implement successful smart city initiatives. Participants will explore how technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, smart infrastructure, data analytics, and digital platforms can support more efficient, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable cities.

Through practical learning, international case studies, interactive exercises, and direct exposure to Barcelona’s urban innovation ecosystem, participants will examine how smart cities and urban transformation strategies can improve city management, strengthen infrastructure, optimize public services, enhance citizen experiences, and support long-term sustainable urban development.

Why Barcelona for Smart Cities and Urban Transformation?

The city of Barcelona has been considered as “the most wired” by many. Citywide Wi-Fi and an astonishing number of hotspots cover almost the entire territory with free access in buses, metro, and markets. As Barcelona has the highest number of smartphone penetration, the government has created numerous apps to deliver public services to its residents.

The city hosted the first Smart City Expo and World Congress to promote “a self-sufficient city of productive neighborhoods at human speed, inside a hyper-connected zero emissions metropolitan area” in 2011. Barcelona serves as a role model when it comes to the improvement of urban infrastructure via technology. Smart choices have been used in waste disposal, street lighting, bus transit systems, city bike systems, irrigation systems, and noise sensors just to name a few.
