Act
Digital technology in four urban domains
The aim of this part is to guide local authorities who wish to integrate digital technology into their concrete projects. The support method comprises knowledge milestones, toolboxes, practical exercises and feedback from experience on the ground.
The examples of initiatives and solutions presented here have been taken from representative case studies. We have given precedence to frugal, simple, accessible solutions that create opportunities.
Lastly, the local authorities are offered a “work sheet” for each of the domains, which takes up the practical exercises so that the reader of the guide can have an initial working document with the first responses by the local authority’s team.
