On 14th February 2018, the members of the mySMARTLife Cities Network gathered for the 1st mySMARTLife Cities Network Workshop in Helsinki with the aim of learning from each other to make their cities smarter and more sustainable. They discovered the actions in the Lighthouse and Follower Cities and exchanged their experiences in the domains of mobility, infrastructures, energy and non-technological actions such as citizen participation. The workshop revealed that the cities are facing similar challenges and that citizen involvement is at the core of smart cities actions to ensure a successful transition.
mySMARTLife Cities Network
In order to spread the knowledge, we share the experiences made within the mySMARTLife demonstration cities, within our mySMARTLife Cities Network.
Cities from Europe and beyond have the chance to benefit directly from the mySMARTLife findings and to learn from the experience of the Lighthouse Cities by joining the mySMARTLife Cities Network. Together, they build up a strong network of cities to make their cities smarter and more sustainable.
The following 16 cities from Europe and beyond build up the mySMARTLife Cities Network:

Network Events
The 1st mySMARTLife Cities Network Workshop (Helsinki)
The 2nd mySMARTLife Cities Network Workshop (Nantes)
The 2nd mySMARTLife Cities Network Workshop took place on 6th March 2019, during the 5th mySMARTLife Periodic Meeting in Nantes. The Lighthouse Cities’ mobility, energy, ICT and non-tech oriented projects have been presented and discussed. Soon after, a study tour began. Participants had the chance to visit the Vertou Bus Technical Center (24m long e-bus, e-busway infrastructure) and the Technocampus Ocean Research Center (solar road, autonomous shuttle). At the end, the smart public lighting system of the City of Nantes has been introduced.
The 3rd mySMARTLife Cities Network Workshop (Online)
Due to the travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19, the 3rd mySMARTLife Cities Network Workshop did not take place in Hamburg as originally planned but online on 18th March 2020. At the start of the event, our Lighthouse Cities Nantes and Helsinki as well as our Follower Cities Palencia, Bydgoszcz and Rijeka gave insights into their current mobility situations, which was followed by a Q&A session. Thereupon, mobility in Hamburg came into focus while introducing the projects BSR Electric, SWITCHH, Cities4People, LUCIA and HUBMOBILE. The event was completed by focusing on various mobility kiosks: Nantes Metropole presented its temporary and single axial bus lanes, Rome its electric car sharing (Share’n go) and Bydgoszcz its mobility strategy which is influenced by 2050 CliMobCity.
