Open & Agile Smart Cities & Communities (OASC)

OASC unites cities worldwide to build a global & open market for smart city data & services based on cities' needs.
About us
OASC is a not-for-profit global network of cities and communities founded in 2015. It embodies a singular, global, demand-side consensus on the minimal common ground for exchanging solutions, services and data between cities. This common ground is called the ‘Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms’ (MIMs). OASC members are cities, towns, and rural areas of planet earth, as jointly defined by the EU, OECD, World Bank, FAO, UN-Habitat, and ILO. OASC members strive to collaborate, learn, share, implement, innovate, and replicate, in order to act as catalysts for the global adoption of local solutions that further sustainable development goals as defined by the international community. OASC membership is completely free and universally accessible to all cities, towns, and rural areas, irrespective of size, means, geography, location, or other factors. OASC members can join OASC by joining an OASC Chapter consisting of at least two members. OASC members are represented in the Council of Cities, the Board of Directors, the General Assembly, and the Working Groups of OASC. OASC members can represent themselves, be formally represented by another member, or be formally represented by an elected not-for-profit and non-commercial organisation. OASC members formally adopt, endorse, support, and advance the Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms and their underlying principles of open data, open APIs, open access, and 'driven by implementation'. The Council of Cities, representing all OASC cities, holds the final verdict on what becomes a MIM and what references are contained therein. The Council of Cities - without exception - represents the so-called 'demand side' of the market. Nowhere in the governance of OASC, are decisions made by companies or individual commercial interests. This ensures an open and level playing field, and ultimately an addressable and interoperable global market.

🏙️ 50 EU cities and communities have already embarked on a transformative journey to design a comprehensive digitalisation roadmap for the next five years. This strategy paves the way for establishing Local Data Platforms or Local Digital Twins. Read about the achievements of Dresden and how the Online Helpdesk Service for Smart Communities has been a key player in their success. 📍 "The LORDIMAS maturity assessment not only helped to check the feasibility and comprehensiveness of the new strategy, but it also substantially helped to guide its practical implementation. Looking into the development level of the smart city strategy, digital twin concepts and purposeful urban data utilisation from governance as well as technology perspective, important cornerstones and requisite actions for the further process became clear." 📢 We're calling on more cities and communities to join this movement!
