Innovation plays a vital role in the success and development of every country and every community and municipal government around the world. According to the United Nations, more than 54% of the world’s population now resides in urban areas — a figure set to rise to 67% by 2050. And these urban centers are becoming increasingly important drivers of national and regional economic growth. A growing set of challenges they all face as they transform in the 21st century to improve peoples’ lives. The process of assimilating an innovative culture that advocates producing results and benefits depends on the harmony and synchronization between the citizens and tools in the system, which will help transform the world into a global village.

In order for us to raise awareness to the Creative (Smart & Responsive) Countries & Smart Cities Global Challenge and summon smart cities stake holders and citizens to implement the technology and tools offered here and by The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we invite you to join us and lead the way to make this plan a reality.
