Smart City Coordinators facilitate planning processes to support Smart City strategic and operational planning activities and prioritize investments in Smart City technology and infrastructure. Since Coordinators typically work in local government, they collaborate with other departments to devise Smart City solutions and ensure that the Smart City projects are well-coordinated. Coordinators also manage the process of identifying and communicating high-level analysis, priorities and requirements for the design and implementation of Smart City strategies and solutions, maintain a high level of education and awareness of developments in the Smart City technology environment by conducting research and attending meetings, demos, conferences, and other relevant events, and recommend Smart City products, solutions, and strategies based upon best practice research. Finally, Smart City Coordinators review and confirm related financial and risk management information, including cost-benefit analysis.
