Slide4Shortcomings of the current approachDigital cities somewhat dominated by technology-push, rather than innovation driven by cities’ demandSolutions sometimes fragmented and isolated from each other without links to an overall digital strategy Digital transition is a long-term shift in society that is foreseen to continue.
