Tartu is the capital and largest city of Tartu County in South-Estonia. The population of Tartu is nearly 100,000 inhabitants. 30-40% of the population is in one way or another connected to universities located in the city: the University of Tartu, Estonian University of Life Sciences and others. That is why the city population is younger than the average in Estonia.
Also known as the City of Good Thoughts, Tartu already has a good track record as a smart city. Tartu has developed its e-services and paperless administration practices for decades and has been one of the first in the world to implement many smart solutions – m-parking in 2000, public Wi-Fi throughout the city in 2000, local e-elections in 2005, city mobile applications in 2006, digital signature in 2007, a fully electric taxi service in 2012, and participative budgeting in 2013 etc. Tartu ranks 15th in the European Smart Cities benchmark for smart people and joined the Covenant of Mayors in 2014 with the aim of promoting energy efficient solutions, the use of renewable energy and environmentally aware citizens.
