Joining forces with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-Central Visayas, the local government of Mandaue unveiled its plans at the opening of the Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (RSTW) last July 13 toward becoming one of the first smart and sustainable cities in the region.
During its launch, Mandaue City Mayor Thadeo Jovito Ouano introduced the “Smart Mandaue” Road map that targets to provide better public service and governance to the city through science, technology, and innovation.
Through the DOST’s Smart and Sustainable Communities Program (SSCP), Smart Mandaue encompasses better evidence-backed policy making for disaster resilience, urban planning, conservation, and community empowerment.
Among these is the Mandaue Digital Twin, the flagship initiative of the road map, which will develop a digital model of the city that integrates data on traffic infrastructure, mobility, environmental conditions, and development projects into a single platform.
Mandaue City joins the other 152 benefitting LGUs across the country under the expanded implementation of the department’s SSCP.
Meanwhile, the DOST Central Visayas spearheaded the kickoff of the Smart Community Consortium — a multi-stakeholder platform for the SSCP across the region — through a ceremonial digital signing of DOST officials and other industry partners.
The consortium will focus on the development and implementation of the program, mobilizing collaboration among the government, academe, industries, and communities to help local government units employ and scale smart and sustainable solutions.
