Welcome to the Tomorrow's Cities Capacity Strengthening Program 

Tomorrow’s Cities has developed a Capacity Strengthening Program to equip new cities with the skills needed for implementing and utilising the TCDSE. This program, which can be conducted in both an online and in-person format, has been tailored to each city’s unique context and covers all technical and operational aspects of the TCDSE. It is structured into four Modules and is delivered by researchers from the Hub.

After gaining an understanding of the TCDSE, cities and urban areas can customise the framework to fit their specific scenarios and achieve long-term self-sustainability.
