Training

 

Tomorrow’s Cities designed a training programme to prepare new cities in the implementation and use of the TCDSE. Combining online and in- presence modules and tailored to each city’s specific context, the training programme covers all the technical and operational details of the TCDSE, divided into five learning stages and delivered by the Hub’s researchers.

Once familiar with the TCDSE, cities/ urban areas can adapt the framework in their own versions based on scenarios specific to them and can ultimately self-sustain.
