About Digital City Briefs

Digital City Briefs is a web site for ideas, thoughts, articles and videos on 30 global cities. It tracks these cities as they transition into digital cities. The information is extracted from the Internet and is chronicled in short “briefs” with associated references.

What is a digital city? The emerging digital technologies such as smart utility grids, smart meters for energy use monitoring, real time data collection and visualization, Geographic Information System (GIS) based mapping, sustainable development practices, green infrastructure, personal digital devices such as smart phones, smart transit technologies and other innovations are fundamentally changing the way cities are planned, managed and inhabited. What is emerging is a digital city of the future. This web site focuses on the digital transformation in 30 major cities of the world. These cities account for 24 % of the world’s GDP and 6 % of the world’s population.

What is driving this work? There is an explosion of information on the Internet. It is difficult to distinguish between good information and nonsensical chatter. There is also a huge gap between the unorganized data floating around the Internet and the usefulness of information generated by powerful search engines. This web site is an attempt to fill this gap, by extracting relevant information and summarizing it for wider consumption.

What is our mission? Our mission is to research digital city related best practices as well as challenges; and share them on this site. If you find something useful on this site, please use it. If you think that it is worth sharing with others, please do so. If you prefer to ignore this site, that is your choice as well. We would appreciate any feedback or comments you may have, so we can improve the site.
