Building Smart Cities Through Practical AI Education
We're preparing urban planners and tech professionals for the infrastructure challenges coming in 2026. Our programs focus on real implementations — not theory alone. You'll work through actual smart city scenarios, understand sensor networks, and see how AI affects municipal operations.

How We Structure Learning
Most AI courses throw algorithms at you. We start with problems cities actually face — traffic congestion, energy distribution, waste management — and then show you which tools help solve them.
Project-Based Modules
Each section centers on a municipal challenge. You'll analyze real data from public transportation systems, map sensor deployments, and evaluate different AI approaches for specific outcomes.
Infrastructure Context
Smart cities aren't just software. We cover how legacy systems interact with new tech, budget constraints that affect deployment, and the political realities of urban planning decisions.
Flexible Schedule
Our autumn 2025 cohort runs 14 weeks with evening sessions. Materials stay accessible after completion, and you can join quarterly discussion groups to stay current as implementations evolve.
Program Progression
The curriculum moves from foundational concepts to specialized applications. Each phase builds your ability to assess, design, and recommend AI solutions for urban environments.
Urban Systems Fundamentals
First four weeks cover how cities function as interconnected systems. You'll map infrastructure dependencies, understand data flows, and identify where AI can add value without disrupting essential services.
AI Implementation Patterns
Weeks five through nine focus on specific technologies. We examine computer vision for traffic analysis, predictive models for maintenance scheduling, and natural language processing for citizen services.
Integration Projects
Final five weeks involve team-based scenarios. You'll propose solutions for realistic budgets, address privacy concerns, and present recommendations that account for technical and social factors.
Who Benefits From This Training
You don't need a computer science background. Our participants come from city planning departments, civil engineering firms, municipal IT teams, and consulting groups that work with local governments.
- Urban planners wanting to understand AI capabilities and limitations
- IT professionals supporting city infrastructure systems
- Engineers involved in smart city pilot programs
- Consultants advising municipalities on technology adoption
Applications for our September 2025 cohort open in late May. Class size stays limited to maintain meaningful interaction during project work.
