Sustainable Smart Cities Challenges in Project Management Curriculum

Abstract

Business schools aim to educate and train tomorrow’s managers, who will be responsible to lead their organizations towards success. Since businesses use projects as the main means to implement innovative strategy in all industry domains, it is the responsibility of project management instructors not only to explain relevant concepts and introduce tools and techniques, but also to raise students’ awareness to current and future social and environmental challenges and to offer methods to face those challenges. The paper presents case studies analysis to identify good practices for integrating challenges of sustainable cities and communities into the curriculum of project management courses.
