How it all began
At the end of 2018, UNDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina in partnership with the City of Sarajevo, the Municipality of Stari Grad and the Canton of Sarajevo, launched the Smart Sarajevo initiative, which aims to:
I. Stimulate resident participation in urban development
II. Pilot the improvement of public services based on technology
III. Urban collaboration between public, private and civic stakeholders on the road to the city of the future
In the period between 2019 and early 2020, the pilot initiative aroused great interest of residents, media, private sector and supported the participatory design and implementation of a portfolio of innovative ideas, which contribute to a more vibrant, smarter and healthier life.
The Initiative has encouraged the creation of a very important civic informal structure - the City Mind Lab - a voluntary, self-organized, multidisciplinary group of experts, residents of Sarajevo, who are the brains behind the Initiative and are interested in the obligation to move towards the future city program. City Mind Lab was founded in December 2018 and counts more than 120 members today.
The City Mind Lab is supported by the Smart Sarajevo initiative and its members meet informally to build links, create opportunities and talk about the next steps towards an inclusive future in Sarajevo.
