Intelligent Communities 2021

ICF is a global think-tank that studies and promotes best practices of the world’s intelligent communities as they adapt to new demands and seize the opportunities presented by information and communications technology.

The ICF’s international jury uses a rigorous analytic method to select its Top 7 based on a number of factors that exemplify best practices in connectivity, workforce development, innovation, digital inclusion, and advocacy. The ICF notes that the Top 7 are charting new paths to lasting prosperity for their community’s citizens, businesses, and institutions, and are part of a global community that shares insights for other regions, cities, towns, and villages around the world to follow.

The Township’s ICF top 7 application showcased strategies and initiatives underway across our community where organizations are working together to make impactful economic, social, environmental, and cultural achievements. A number of stakeholder organizations were highlighted for their initiatives, coupled with the Township’s broad portfolio of strategies and guiding document.
