PartiCaffé Smart Cities 2026
Take your municipality from ideas to smart development management!
How can you manage your municipality smartly in an era of rapid technological change? Learn how to integrate strategy, projects, and new technologies to truly improve life in your municipality.
The PartiCaffé Smart Cities training and education program builds on the PartiCaffé Participation and PartiCaffé Strategy educational cycles. While the first program focuses on public engagement and the second on strategic planning, Smart Cities shows how to link these principles and apply them to the systematic management of a municipality.
We draw on the Ministry of Regional Development’s Smart Cities methodology, which integrates strategy, participation, infrastructure, and quality of life. The goal is to ensure that projects are not isolated investments but rather part of a well-thought-out, long-term municipal development plan.
Program
MODULE 1 – What Makes a Municipality Truly Smart?
- April 23, 2026 | 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
- South Moravian Regional Authority, Cejl, Room 120
A Smart City is not just about technology, but above all about smart management of municipal development. This module builds on previous programs and demonstrates how to integrate experiences from participation and strategic planning into a broader municipal development framework in line with the Ministry of Regional Development’s methodology.
MODULE 2 – How to Set the Direction for Smart Projects
- May 19, 2026 | 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
- South Moravian Regional Office, Cejl, Room 121
We will focus on translating the municipality’s strategy into concrete projects. You will learn how to evaluate projects in terms of their benefits to the municipality, connect them, and avoid isolated investments.
MODULE 3 – Smart City Firsthand (URBIS)
- June 4, 2026 | 9:00 AM–11:00 AM (training), 12:00 PM–1:00 PM (URBIS)

The final module bridges theory and practice at the URBIS – The Smart Cities Meetup trade fair. Participants will learn to evaluate smart solutions and technologies from the perspective of their actual benefits for the community and gain practical guidance on navigating the range of available solutions. We will then visit inspirational sessions and panel discussions at the trade fair together. PartiCaffé participants will receive a free URBIS ticket.
