The project, a collaboration between UNU-EGOV and the Digital Future Society, is focused on producing a white paper that explores the complexities of urban digital divides and the concept of digital access as a human right. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding of urban digital transformation and its impacts, highlighting the challenges and successful strategies employed across various global cities. The white paper aims to provide actionable insights and recommendations to help city administrators, policymakers, and civil society effectively address and bridge digital divides.
