Rome has earned the Smart City Award at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, a major international honor recognizing cities that are shaping new models of public innovation.
The winning initiative, “Rome: the City is Transforming,” reflects the broad evolution underway in the Italian capital. The program touches every dimension of city life – from urban planning and economic growth to public administration, social services, and cultural development. Its goal is to modernize public services, reduce inequality, support sustainable growth, and stimulate a homegrown innovation economy rooted in local communities.
