The Cities Today Institute (CTI) assists community leaders to design and implement policies, strategies and projects by providing city leadership forums, training, research and an online community.
A network driven by and for cities
We assist city leaders to prepare for a liveable, sustainable and resilient future by focusing on the challenges facing urban mobility leaders and highlighting how city leaders (Chief Information, Technology or Digital Officers) are using digital infrastructure to assist in service delivery.
Launched by Cities Today magazine, the Institute brings together senior officials in private two-day discussion groups and in an online community. Our members include deputy mayors, directors of transportation, chief information/innovation officers and smart city directors. Membership is free.
