On 05 December 2024, there was a Technical Meeting with the Phnom Penh Capital Hall (PPCH) which is the most important implementation partner of the Build4People project. In this regard, we support PPCH to tackle the so-called Twin Transformation of digitalization and sustainability. Thereby, we aim to use the potential of digitalization to promote participatory, inclusive and sustainable urban transformation by supporting PPCH to connect its existing green and smart city strategies.
Our key objective is facilitate the implementation of a tangible Build4People product, the so-called PPCH Transformation Toolbox as a comprehensive digital planning instrument and as inter-active online information-, public participation-, technology-, and learning platform that enables evidence-based data driven decisions towards sustainability and enhanced quality of life.
