Framework

A Framework to enable and facilitate your city’s transformation into an Ethical Smart City.

0. Overview

A Framework to enable and facilitate your city’s transformation into an Ethical Smart City.

Founded on the Elements and the Guiding Principles, the Ethical Smart City (ESC) Framework is a five-step process and a set of created and curated tools that guide Smart City Champions in the development of ESC solutions.

The framework can be used in two ways. First, it can be used by municipalities in a generative capacity to create new Ethical Smart City approaches. Second, it can be used in an evaluative capacity to help municipalities understand the effectiveness of existing Smart City initiatives.

It would be great to have something that can be customized, both for our team and also for our colleagues in the city, to be able to understand what the difference looks like and how the outcomes change based on having a different set of measurements and goals.
