Abstract	The complexity and diversity of the transformation of cities toward smart cities poses major challenges for decision-makers developing lifelong education concepts in this context for a variety of stakeholders as well as for teaching smart city competences. Blended learning education models pose further challenges regarding the didactic and organizational implementation of such education concepts. The aim of this chapter is to present an education concept to teach the transformation of cities toward smart cities. The concept integrates problem-based learning, gamification, and a virtual group work. In the virtual group work, students acquire theoretical and practical, transferable knowledge and competences concerning diverse and complex concepts of smart cities. After completing the group work, students will be able to tackle new and complex tasks in the context of smart cities and acquire further required smart city competences independently. The necessary design requirements for such an education concept are also briefly outlined, and the underlying design process is briefly described before the transferability of the education concept is discussed. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
