CAP4CITY – Strengthening Governance Capacity for Smart Sustainable Cities.
Director:Gabriela Viale (DUK). Co-director: Elsa Estevez (UNS-UNL).
People in charge:Armando de Giusti (UNLP), Patricia Pesado (III-LIDI).
The aim of this project is to take advantage of the interest that Smart Sustainable Cities (SSC) has aroused in Latin America. The idea is to integrate it in several university courses by using new teaching and learning tools, as well as to develop new syllabus in all levels of the education process. Given that the number of necessary competencies has grown and its interdisciplinary characteristics, the syllabus for SSC will be implemented in areas such as Business Administration, Computer Sciences, Engineering, Architecture and Urbanism, Urban Planning, Political Sciences, among others, by a collaborative and international network of academic institutions that were selected in Latin America and Europe. The syllabus will support modernization and internationalization in higher education in the member countries.
