Berlin has a new smart city and digital strategy: Gemeinsam Digital: Berlin. The strategy creates an important basis for combining the topics of smart city, digital strategy, and administrative digitization, including digital citizen services. Overseen by the Chief Digital Officer, these previously diffuse subject areas are being consolidated and reimagined through a more future-oriented lens. The strategy was developed in a participatory process coordinated by CityLAB that lasted almost two years and involved more than 2,000 citizens from across Berlin. The strategy includes a compass of values and defines various fields of action, as well as initial measures and an implementation concept for the digitization of Berlin. Smart City Berlin stakeholders will continue to be involved in the implementation of the strategy.
