Logroño is the capital of La Rioja and concentrates 46% of the region’s population, with 151,136 inhabitants. It is the region’s main industrial, financial, and cultural centre. Logroño’s economy relies on tourism and services, especially related to wine and gastronomy. With the ambition of becoming European Green Capital, Logroño’s vision is structured in five strategic axes:
- City that creates wealth: economic development
- Caring city: social services and rights - Beautiful city: culture and heritage
- Smart city: digitalization and innovation
- Green city: sustainability and resource efficiency Logroño is currently immersed in its green digital transformation, designing and implementing ICT tools to maximize the performance and sustainability of both public services and infrastructures. It counts on a smart city platform that integrates data from different areas and is currently adding vertical solutions and tools for various departments. It was selected to participate in the Intelligent Cities Challenge program. Logroño’s flagship project for the upcoming years consists of the regeneration of the historic quarter through the valorization of its wine cultural heritage. The project intends to transform the district into an internationally renowned wine knowledge hub, integrating culture, gastronomy and tourism, but also education, specialized training, business and technology.
