Digital Cities focuses on innovative and localised solutions to influence the use of ICT in the daily lives of people across Europe. Focusing on local needs, the project brings together expertise from the digital and local authority sectors in Manchester, Amsterdam, Greece, Czech Republic and Romania.
Running until December 2011, the project aims to promote the concept of a ‘Digital City’ by taking best practice examples from across Europe and applying them in the local context.
The Digital Cities Model, will bring together the experiences, knowledge and know-how from these partners, to provide other European cities with real-life examples of how ICT can be successfully integrated as part of a city’s infrastructure.
