The Executive Certificate in Urban Technologies for Sustainable African Cities offers multidisciplinary training focused on emerging technologies to support the transformation of African cities into smart cities. This program addresses key topics such as digital transformation, enabling the digitization of urban infrastructure and services, and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) to optimize resource management in the African context. Participants will also explore critical aspects such as cybersecurity, video surveillance, and e-governance, which are essential for secure and transparent smart cities. An introduction to digital twins, through reality capture and 3D modeling, equips participants to simulate and plan urban development effectively. Spatial analysis technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), associated web tools, and remote sensing, are also covered to enhance territorial monitoring and planning. Additionally, the program includes modules on artificial intelligence and its role in improving urban solutions, fostering optimized management and planning.

Program Objectives:

• Train participants in the use of emerging digital tools for efficient and sustainable territorial planning.
• Develop solutions tailored to the African context through artificial intelligence and modeling tools.
• Equip decision-makers, managers, and local actors to make informed decisions and actively contribute to the development of sustainable African cities.
