Developing the city of the future calls for experts with knowledge of various disciplines. But such minds are as yet few and far between. HFT Stuttgart has launched a new master’s program to train dedicated smart city experts. As part of INTERGEO from 17 to 19 September 2019 in Stuttgart, SMART CITY SOLUTIONS is serving as an innovative platform for projects in this field.

Stuttgart/Karlsruhe, 11 March 2019. “Smart cities stem from ideas, not technology,” says architect Professor Roland Dieterle – and he’s lining up just the right people for the job with the master’s program in smart city solutions that he recently launched at Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences (HTF). Dieterle’s work has taken him all over the globe, and he doesn’t need long to convince others of the importance of hiring the right people to drive forward smart city development in Germany, too. Not to mention the importance of forging links between different disciplines and areas of expertise – which is the very aim behind SMART CITY SOLUTIONS, taking place at Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from 17 to 19 September 2019. An integral part of INTERGEO, the world’s leading fair for geodesy, this solutions platform demonstrates use cases and technology, encouraging visitors to share ideas and look towards the future.
