Based on the Intelligent Management Model, we have worked through four pillars: information, resolution and improvement of processes, participation and sustainability-efficiency.
"We work to ensure that each citizen can design their own administration tailored to their needs" said José Guillén
The City of Murcia, through the Department of Modernization and Urban Quality led by José Guillén, presented this morning at the City's Social Council, framed in the III Conference on Participation, the objectives that have been achieved and carried out during these years.
The Smart Management Model aims to bring the City Council closer to the citizen.
In the preparation of this manual, four pillars were set up on which they have been working, information, resolution and improvement of processes, participation and sustainability.
"The intelligent management of cities, the Smart model applied to the public sphere, has a priority and essential objective, to put these technological advances at the service of people to improve their quality of life and the environment in which they live" commented José Guillen.
In terms of information, the MiMurcia project has been valued by the Ministry of Industry as the most ambitious project in Spain, in competitive competition with 111 cities, in the RED.es call.
Currently, it is working with the University of Murcia to develop the contract documents that will be approved on July 26 in the board of directors of RED.es.
The electronic administration is a reality that allows citizens to do their paperwork online.
The doors of the City of Murcia have been opened to citizens and businesses 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
4147 electronic files have already been started on the administration platform.
And it has a total of 588 official users.
In addition, in the single electronic registry, during 2018, 76,085 entries and 37,412 entries were recorded.
It has also created a unique agenda of the city, Eventos.es, so that citizens have access to the programming of events and activities that take place in the municipality.
In this platform, more than 5000 events per year have been managed and published.
The creation of the first Unicode system of geographic information and an urban planning geoportal to make the urban information of the municipality 100% transparent has been another of the objectives achieved.
New municipal web portals have been created in the areas of Urban Planning, Local Police, Civil Protection, Personnel - Selective Processes, Social Rights and Trade.

The City of Murcia has carried out the first electronic Contracting Table and has modernized and contracted the provision of the communications service, multiservice data network, mobile telephony, fixed telephony and voice system.

This allows broadband to reach all the municipal centers of districts, about 165, and the Wi-Fi service is being implemented in all the headquarters of districts, sports halls or supply plazas.
"All these advances that we have made and are making are part of our effort to modernize the administration and make the smart city project a reality, we are taking the right steps to ensure that the information that reaches the citizen is transparent, useful and We work to ensure that each citizen can design their own local administration through new technologies "José Guillén remarked.
Regarding citizen participation, the TuMurcia application has been implemented.
A portal where citizens can express their opinion through surveys, make suggestions or expose their ideas.
This is the channel by which most Murcia communicate with the City of Murcia.

It allows easy and free access to information on the main tourist attractions of a city.
There are already 12 routes and more than 400 recorded voices.

In addition, Murcia works with three Japanese cities to develop a smart city platform.
