Global Smart City Partnership Program

With Whom Do We Collaborate?

GSCP links four players in the Global Smart City network:

  • World Bank project teams
  • World Bank client cities
  • Global technical experts
  • Leading smart cities

World Bank project teams assist client cities with a range of projects, from lending operations to advisory services. GPSC matches the technical experts with project teams; the experts then work as consultants with the teams, bringing technical know-how for smart-city design and implementation. The program also incorporates leading smart cities¡¯ experiences through knowledge-sharing and peer-to-peer learning.
