Targad jätkusuutlikud linnad kasutavad uusi digitaalseid tehnoloogiad, mis eeldab tehnoloogilise innovatsiooni meetodite tundmist ja ka oskuste arendamist targa linna projektide plneerimisel ja läbiviimisel. Tegemist on interdistsiplinaarse projektiga, mis ühendab erinevaid valdkondi (peamiselt e- valitsemine, IKT, inseneeria, transport, arhitektuur).
