LATAM COMPACT: Smart Cities and Urban Innovation: Case Study Argentina 🇦🇷 STUDY TRIP TO BUENOS AIRES & CORDOBA / IMMERSION 🇦🇷 Target: undergraduate students (Business Administration, Public Administration, IR, Law and Economics) COURSE OBJECTIVES: Cities play an increasing role in shaping our societies and future developments. They are home to most of the global population, concentrate economic power and trade, and stimulate innovation and change. Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions of the world (80%) and cities generate more than 70% of the global GDP. Given cities' positive and negative importance, decision-makers increasingly perceive local governments as important stakeholders in multilateral agreements. The C40, ICLEI, and UCLG are important networks of cities – The Sustainable Development Goals (UN) and the New Urban Agenda (UN Habitat) acknowledge that many of today's development challenges will need to find answers in and with cities. Within this context, the discourse on smart cities presents itself as a promising way out and forward. Cities that manage to activate the potential of technological and social innovations (such as the Internet of Things and big data) and create synergies between different sectors can become more livable, inclusive, sustainable, economically efficient, and administratively transparent. But how innovative is the ʺSmart Citiesʺ discourse? What are the ways through which governments activate technology and innovation to foster more sustainable societies (environmentally and socially)? What can we learn from successful cases? Would it be possible to transfer their approaches to different regional contexts?
