The digitalisation of public administrations can help improve metropolitan management of everyday life through more inclusive governance that incorporates the opinion of its dwellers and puts people at the centre of its action and policies.

However, they can also create a digital divide between people and generate new dimensions of inequality in metropolitan spaces.

On the occasion of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, Metropolises organises a conferences to learn from representatives and managers of metropolises around the world about the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation. This relates to principle 7 of the Charter of Educating Cities.

When: May 17, 15:00 CET
