ITU Every day our city faces a diverse range of complex challenges, some internal in nature and some exogenous, such as those brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic that have highlighted the urgent need to be adequately prepared to mitigate the impacts of pandemics and other future threats. The transformation of València as a safe and sustainable coexistence space, and attractive and socially equitable economic hub, is an enormously complex task that requires the collaboration of a large number of actors. Citizens, companies, associations and institutions are all key actors in this “Smart Sustainable City” model that seeks, from a global perspective, to improve efficiency, people’s lives, our environment, social inclusion, sustainability, and resilience to external threats.
