🌍 World Cities Day 2025 | People-Centered Smart Cities

This year’s World Cities Day highlights the importance of people-centered smart cities — a vision where urban technology, data, and innovation are designed to enhance quality of life and improve service delivery, especially for those most affected by urban challenges.

Through the Strengthening Civil Society Engagement for a Just and Sustainable Urbanization (SCEJU) project, co-funded by the European Union, partners are supporting inclusive digital engagement on urban water and waste management in Kisumu, Nakuru, and Makueni counties.

This includes capacity-building initiatives such as:
✅ Digital advocacy training through the YOSUDA e-learning platform
✅ Stakeholder dialogues on policy and service delivery
✅ Support to informal water and waste actors through training and research
✅ Data collection and learning for inclusive urban planning

As conversations on smart cities continue, it remains important to explore how emerging technologies and local knowledge systems can complement each other to promote more inclusive, responsive, and resilient urban spaces.
