Wolfsburg is one of the pioneers in the German Federal Program "Smart Cities Model Projects." Since 2022, the city has been implementing its smart city strategy in the program's realisation phase. The goal is to harness digital technologies to enhance quality of life, health, and sustainability in urban spaces. A key focus is the active involvement of the local community.

Creative Climate Cities is supporting the city of Wolfsburg in realigning its participation strategy. Together with the relevant authorities, we have developed a communication and participation concept that makes digital and analog formats accessible and practical. At the same time, it enables transfer to other municipalities.

Another focal point was the topic of impact measurement. In close cooperation with the project management team at Smart City Wolfsburg, we designed and moderated a series of workshops. In doing so, we developed key indicators that make success measurable, create transparency, and strengthen confidence in the process of digital transformation. They provide a strategic basis for the continuation of the measures.

This approach not only strengthens the implementation of the smart city strategy in Wolfsburg, but also provides a proven methodology for comparable processes in other municipalities. More information on the Smart City Wolfsburg website
