In the smart Cities project, Memori wrote a framework paper describing the 'Smart Digital City' in 10 characteristics. Based on this framework paper a self assesmment tool was developed, allowing the Smart cities project partners to evaluate their developments in the digitization of their services. in this presentation Eric Goubin will introduce the framework for smart digital cities, and Elke Van Soom will present the self assessment tool and its first results.
