Need to share strategies and adopt a common platform generate, adopt, adapt and implement sharable city solutions share knowledge with a common language organize C2C and B2C collaboration and learning frame the development of common tools for effective governance, evaluation and transformation A city is an ecosystem physical structure living entities that it contains flow of interactions and information Cities are Ecosystems
Protocol Society Working and Learning Together Define a common systems view for cities of any size or type (multi-city, multicultural, multi-partner and scale-free) Do research & development (R&D) activities Develop protocols for interoperable solutions that can work across city silos and across cities Document all results Facilitate C2C, C2B, B2C, B2B initiatives
generic) common language to share knowledge common platform to share solutions common city-centered collaborative R&D space to learn together common frame to develop tools and digital solutions common rationale to integrate diversity and the work of many Human Anatomy City Anatomy A system of systems and interactions
