"At ISCM, building a smart city is not a destination but a shared journey of co-creation and continuous effort. Cities are living organisms full of constant movement and transformation, where new challenges always arise. To address these, we prioritise problems, allocate limited resources, and apply technology to create smart, sustainable solutions.

Smart is not only about technology; it is about integrating resources efficiently and responsibly. Within our smart city, decisions are human-centric, and the collaboration among universities, organisations, governments, stakeholders, and communities nurtures a co-creative culture, making cities more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient for all.

We are shaping the unknown future through our main fields: Framework Transition, Glocal Design, Human-Centric Orientation, Tech Solutions, and Urban System. Through international, integrated educational activities and in-depth, practical research, ISCM connects a diverse global network of universities, industries, and communities to co-create knowledge and solutions, building smarter, more sustainable and resilient futures."

introduction

The Institute of Smart City and Management (ISCM) was established at the turning point of UEH’s transformation into a multi-disciplinary and sustainable university. As a research and educational institute, ISCM aspires to confront urban life challenges via international, integrated educational activities, and practical, in-depth research. We orient our activities towards smart city strategies (including smart mobility, smart management, smart design, smart planning, and integrated fields), leveraging technology to form harmonious problem-solving tools in a rapidly changing and unpredictable world.

In ISCM, we develop partnerships by building extensive local and international networks among academic research organizations, government authorities, industry, and communities. ISCM strives to create a co-creation platform, build communal efforts to improve the smartness, resilience, and sustainability of our communities with a motivated, creative team made up of academics, specialists, and researchers from diverse backgrounds, generations, and nations.
