We are the Center for Collaborative Research (CCR) for Scientific Modeling, Application, Research, and Training for City-centered Innovation and Technology (abbreviated as SMART CITY) led by University of Indonesia. We collaborate with various higher education institutions in Indonesia and the United States, public and private sectors, and also NGOs in a Sustainable Higher Education Research Alliances (SHERA) program funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID), focusing on Urban Development and Planning.
CCR SMART CITY encourages individual researchers to use interdisciplinary approaches in its work, collaborate on a global scale, and create scientific and technological innovations as response to facing urban challenges, including the adoption of green technology, information technology in urban administration, services, and governance; reliability of urban infrastructure; and the rapidly declining quality of life, health, and general wellbeing.
