Digital cities: digitally-enabled, people-centric Volume 2
Digitally-enabled, people-centric is the second of our four-part series on digital cities.
We began the series where every digital ecosystem needs to start — with the role of strategy in defining the digital ecosystem and differentiating the city. In this second part, we dive deeper into the core of any successful city strategy, focusing on the one thing that no city can exist without — its people.
Digitally-enabled, people-centric is a forward-looking exploration of the new potential opened to cities that fully embrace digital transformation to enhance how they serve their users in the future, and to both enable and empower the people that live in those cities. In particular, it will examine the active role that people can play in driving innovation and creating value for all, utilizing digital technology to build inclusive and resilient communities.
As with any transformational project, building a digitally-enabled city for the future comes with challenges. Download the report to explore the following:
- How do we engage all stakeholders to help co-create a future model and to ensure no person or group is excluded?
- How do we use data to increase transparency and improve trust among those stakeholders, while at the same time, maintain privacy and security?
- What measurement frameworks need to be put in place to quantify the success — or shortcomings — of a digital city?
Finding solutions to the kinds of complex challenges we face in these times is far from straightforward. However, through a combination of technological innovation and new ways of thinking around how digital tools can improve people’s lives, we can illuminate a different and more profound approach to a people-centric city for the future.
