Agile cities refer to urban environments that embrace and implement agile principles in their development and governance strategies. Inspired by the agile approach in software development, these cities prioritize flexibility, adaptability, and continuous improvement to meet the evolving needs and challenges of their residents. Agile cities encourage collaboration between public and private sectors, involve citizens in decision-making processes, and leverage technology to enhance efficiency and responsiveness. They prioritize sustainable and resilient infrastructure, promote innovative solutions to urban issues, and foster a culture of experimentation and learning. By embracing agility, these cities aim to create dynamic and livable spaces that can quickly respond to changing circumstances, ensuring a prosperous and inclusive future for their inhabitants.

□   Building
