Based on a specific policy area as an example, the research seeks to identify the key drivers of these changes, as well as their socio-economic implications.
On the base of cities' responses, the IPTS will select a limited number of case studies to be further analysed. The preliminary results of this research will be presented for discussion to future events organised by IPTS in collaboration with EUROCITIES.
A short questionnaire to collect the views of cities on what city governance policy areas are most impacted by ICTs and on which governance changes are driven by ICTs has been prepared. The questionnaire, structured in 10 (ten) key questions, can be accessed online at: http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=EXPGOV.
Ideally the questionnaire should be answered by a city manager having a broad overview of the city governance processes and ICTs development (e.g. a representative of the Office of the Mayor or CIO).
