In this episode, Jakub Mazur, Deputy Mayor of Wroclaw, Poland, maps how the city is moving from pilots to performance: using nanosatellite imagery to enrich property data and support flood readiness, pairing AI with sensors to predict water-pipe leaks, and shifting from hundreds of disconnected systems toward an e-office standard that cities can share.

He reflects on data gaps around newcomers and why better public–private collaboration matters, the legal and procurement hurdles that slow local co-creation, and lessons from managing recurring crises such as floods.

Above all, he argues for a human-centred Smart City that honours heritage, builds resilience, and turns evidence into everyday improvements.
