The Czech capital has become part of CommuniCity, a European transformation project focused on citizens and digital solutions to social challenges in cities. The project will implement 100 pilot projects in urban and suburban areas to empower marginalised communities.
The project connects businesses, organisations, civic associations, technology providers and citizens to develop solutions to overcome digital and urban challenges. CommuniCity builds on award-winning European and national and local innovation programmes, methods, living labs and platforms. It brings together the insights from these and proposes an inclusive, community-driven, agile innovation and experimentation model.
Prague is involved in a second open call seeking to pilot solutions to two defined challenges. These combine the need to inform residents about urban data and the resulting projects in less socio-economically developed localities and to solicit feedback and participation of these residents in planned local projects. The project is coordinated by the Portuguese city company Porto Digital and implemented in a network of partner cities across Europe (Amsterdam, Tallinn, Helsinki, Breda, Aarhus).
